ROAD 2 A CURE & Pancreatic Cancer OUTREACH Magazine Story Released
 ROAD 2 A CURE-- IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Office Dynamics' corporate cause for the past 2 1/2 years has been Pancreatic Cancer Awareness. This is more than a corporate cause; it is also my personal cause since my husband, Dave, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer September 2007.
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest cancer: 75% of patients die within the first 12 months of diagnosis; the survival rate for pancreatic cancer is just 5% beyond 5 years. 42,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year. This is one of the least funded cancers when it comes to research and awareness!
My husband, Dave (59), is a 2 1/2 year survivor, but regularly keeps microscopic cancer cells at bay through chemotherapy and he just finished 5 1/2 weeks of daily radiation treatments. Pancreatic cancer is extremely hard on the patient mentally and physically, not to mention their family members.
Maybe you personally know someone who has been touched by this horrific cancer or someone in your network knows someone. It could be one of your employees whose family member has been touched or an associate down the hall who has not said anything to anyone but is struggling.
Road to 2 A Cure is a 42,000 mile (50-state motorcycle) ride by Chris Calaprice (from Santa Barbara), a 6-year survivor who is still undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
My sister, Gina, who has been a strong advocate for awareness is participating in Road 2 A Cure on the leg from Santa Barbara to Palm Springs Saturday, February 20.
Help support pancreatic cancer awareness. Thank you.
