“My mother’s courageous battle with pancreatic cancer serves as an inspiration for anyone suffering from a life-threatening disease. Pancreatic cancer is the most lethal cancer there is –the fact that our only weapon against this disease, which has a survival rate of just 5 percent, is a continued commitment to funding research that will enhance our understanding of pancreatic cancer, improve early diagnosis and treatment options, and one day, lead us to a cure. We will not back down from the battle against pancreatic cancer. We are all deeply saddened by her death.” says Grist.

ABOUT HIRSHBERG FOUNDATION: The Foundation’s dedicated efforts have significantly raised awareness and understanding about pancreatic cancer, a disease that continues to be one of the most fatal and least funded of all cancer types. Their continued funding of basic and translational research is their chance to offer life extension, better treatment options and, eventually, a cure. The Hirshberg Foundation staff is able to help when patients and families first receive diagnosis of pancreatic cancer by providing doctor referrals across the United States, second opinion referrals, treatment facility referrals, nutritional information, financial aid information, emotional support information for patients, families and caregivers and someone to talk to that has been through the process from beginning to end.
