More positive news on the Pancreatic Cancer treatment front!! 💜

Did you know that Gerry participated in an earlier stage clinical trial for this vaccine? Clinical trials are a critical part of the fight against cancer and one of FFF's pillars of focus. They provide researchers the opportunity to evaluate new treatments, improve existing therapies, and better understand how different cancers respond. They also provide patients access to new treatment options.

A groundbreaking pancreatic cancer vaccine clinical trial is giving patients new hope. For Berks County resident and former oncology nurse Darlene “Dolly” Sills, it became part of a remarkable recovery story after a stage 3 pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Through personalized care, advanced treatment, and access to leading-edge research at Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute, Dolly is thriving nearly three years after her diagnosis.

How Your Donations Make an Impact 💜

Pancreatic cancer affects so much more than a person’s health—it can also create a significant financial burden for patients and their families. One of the goals of the Fightin' Foran’s Foundation is to help ease that burden by providing financial support when it’s needed most.

Through our partnership with St. Luke's University Health Network, we recently provided financial assistance to several pancreatic cancer patients, helping with essential expenses including home utilities and Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT)—a treatment Gerry described as “a game changer” for his quality of life, but one that is not always covered by insurance.

Here’s just one example of how your donations help PC patients directly:

A 62-year-old patient with pancreatic cancer that had metastasized to the liver was experiencing treatment-related side effects that prevented him from working. While he was in the process of applying for disability benefits, his significant other—who manages their household paperwork—suffered a fall and required rehabilitation.

With limited support and increasing financial strain, the patient was struggling to maintain essential home heating during the winter. Thanks to support from the Fightin' Foran’s Foundation, St. Luke’s was able to coordinate the delivery of coal to his home in February, helping ensure a safe and stable living environment during one of the coldest months of the year.

This is what your donations make possible. 💜

Through our partnership with St. Luke’s, we have also helped 2 additional patients with utility bills and 2 patients with the cost of Enzyme Replacement Therapy.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supports the Fightin' Foran’s Foundation. Your generosity allows us to turn compassion into action and provide meaningful help to pancreatic cancer patients and their families when they need it most.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with St. Luke’s and finding even more ways to make a difference in the lives of those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Thank you for helping us make an impact. 💜

To our FFF family….

After much thought, we’ve decided that we will not be holding our annual Gather Gobble Give event this year. While we’ll certainly miss gathering with our biggest fans, we’re excited to take this opportunity to look ahead and explore some fresh, new fundraising events and ideas!

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support, generosity, and love you’ve shown the Fightin’ Foran’s Foundation. Every donation, share, and volunteer hour helps us continue our mission - and we couldn’t do it without you. 💜

This isn’t goodbye to Gather Gobble Give forever. It’s simply a chance to pause, dream big, and come back in the next year with new ways to gather, give, and make a difference together.

Thank you for standing with us in our fight against Pancreatic Cancer. We can’t wait to share what’s next! Keep an eye on this page for some new updates in the coming months.

Here's a great podcast if you want to hear more about the latest breakthroughs on the PC front. 💜

🎙️ In this Cancer Matters podcast, Dr Bill Nelson and Dr Elizabeth Jaffee discuss two significant breakthroughs in pancreatic cancer. The first is , a drug that has significantly prolonged survival in patients with metastatic and a new vaccine targeting mutations that cause the disease and that could potentially go as far as preventing it altogether. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4eDy0NY
