With your help, we can improve early detection and increase the lifespan of those with pancreatic cancer.
Every donation counts and brings us closer to achieving our goal of a 50% survival rate for pancreatic cancer. Only by working together can we change the lives of patients and families affected by this terrible disease.
Your generous donations to PRECEDE Foundation are crucial in advancing our mission to make a difference in pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates. We understand that collaboration and having enough funding can make a real difference. At PRECEDE Foundation, we use your contributions towards supporting initiatives like the PRECEDE Consortium, working hand-in-hand with industry partners to create new tests for pancreatic cancer early detection. One of our primary focuses is the identification of biomarkers associated with abnormal pancreatic cells. By pinpointing these markers, we can intervene proactively, stopping the growth of invasive cancer cells and ultimately saving lives.
Moreover, we are committed to addressing the specific needs of individuals with a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. Your donations help us to focus on those who have multiple family members affected by pancreatic cancer or possess mutations linked to the disease. These high-risk individuals become key participants in our research, allowing us to intervene at the earliest possible stage. By doing so, we aim to significantly delay or prevent the formation of pancreatic cancer, offering hope and a chance for a healthier future.
TrovaNow strives to achieve real results. We recognize the urgency of our mission and are determined to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by pancreatic cancer. Every donation helps us move forward in our determined efforts to advance scientific research, build a supportive community, share knowledge and advocate for patients effectively.
In joining hands with TrovaNow through your donation, you become an essential part of the force driving change. Together, we can make a difference and create a future where pancreatic cancer is not only detectable at its earliest stages but is also preventable. Your donation enables us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by pancreatic cancer.
In March 2020, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but I was fortunate enough to make it through both chemo and the Whipple surgery successfully. Much of that success had to do with brilliant doctors that treated me, but also on the fact that my cancer was discovered in its early stages. I have been cancer free since July 2020.
After the completion of my treatment, my surgeon, Diane Simeone, told me about the PRECEDE Consortium and its fundraising arm, TrovaNow, and how these organizations were dedicated to finding a test for early detection of this insidious disease. The five year survival rate for pancreatic cancer was only 10%, and the goal was to increase the survival rate to 50% within the next ten years. I decided to get involved, and my firm, Pryor Cashman, graciously agreed that we would provide legal services to PRECEDE and TrovaNow on a pro bono basis. When that decision was first made, many of my partners and colleagues pitched in, but the person who stepped up the most was my longtime friend and law partner, Jeffrey Johnson.
