Bringing Hope to the World of Pancreatic Cancer
Resources for Pancreatic Cancer
Our Signature event, J's Run helped to fund the first Pancreatic Cancer support group in the Lehigh Valley through The Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley. Each month, they offer pancreatic cancer specific guidance for patients, family, caregivers, and loved ones.
Please check their monthly schedule for days and times.
Clinical Trials are sometimes the best and most effective ways to fight pancreatic cancer.
We are proud to work with the doctors at Lehigh Valley Cancer Institute to provide you with local clinical trials to help fight pancreatic cancer.
