Welcome to my fundraising page! Thank you for visiting!

To all PCF members and non-members alike, I am excited to share this fundraising page with you!  For those of you that do not know, I have just completed 6 months of chemotherapy for treatment of a rare, aggressive form of lymphoma: sporadic Burkitt's Lymphoma.  I am celebrating the completion of treatment by starting this fundraising page at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, a worldwide leader in research and treatment of blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia.  

I’m a Curestarter for Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center because Fred Hutch scientists are world leaders in revolutionizing the way we prevent, detect, and treat cancer and related diseases. To put it simply, their research saves lives.

Did you know ...

The bone marrow transplant, developed by Dr. E. Donnall Thomas at Fred Hutch, earned him a Nobel Prize and provided the first example of the human immune system’s power to cure cancer. More than 1 million people have received this lifesaving procedure.

Today, Drs. Phil Greenberg and Stanley Riddell continue Dr. Thomas’ legacy, leading the way in the game-changing field of immunotherapy. In fact, they are perfecting an approach that could render chemotherapy and radiation obsolete, making cancer treatment for patients much less grueling and toxic.

Dr. Denise Galloway helped develop the vaccine that prevents human papillomavirus, or HPV, infection, which can cause cervical cancer.

Dr. Jim Olson developed “Tumor Paint”, an experimental molecule derived from scorpion venom that illuminates cancer cells so surgeons can see tumor margins more clearly. This means surgeons can zero in on the cancer, eliminating all of it, without affecting healthy tissue.

Dr. Gary Gilliland, president and director of Fred Hutch, has a bold vision. He believes Hutch scientists can find curative therapies for many, if not all, cancers by the year 2025. They just need the funding to do it.

Please join me in supporting this endeavor by donating today — your gift will support innovative research that saves lives.
