Open Up Your Wallets

October 7th, 2006 | by Craig |

I don’t know that I’ve ever asked for money on this site, and I’m not asking for it now. But a good friend is trying to raise some money for a good cause, in memory of her late husband.

You can contribute at this site: Pancreatic Cancer Action Network - Allan Hergenrider Memorial.

    Thanks, Craig - for everything.

    You don’t have to donate $$$$, folks.

    Congress will soon be deciding how much funding the federal government will provide for cancer research. While the leaders of the House and Senate have agreed to provide a $7 billion increase for health and other programs, including NIH and NCI, their proposals fall far short of that goal. In fact, the funding levels that they are currently considering would result in a cut for cancer research. There is still far too much that needs to be done within the field of pancreatic cancer research to accept a cut in funding. We need early detection tools, treatments, and a cure. Make sure you Senators and Representative know that you think pancreatic cancer research is a funding priority and should be one of their priorities too.

    There’s a place on Allan’s page to write to your Congressional Representative & Senator - simply by clicking. It only takes a minute & hopefully can make a difference.

    Thanks Again,
    Karen
