“Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation was instrumental in helping my family navigate this difficult journey.”
“This past June my father, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. You were an invaluable resource in understanding his diagnosis and helping us get a second opinion through the University of Chicago. My father is doing remarkably well with treatment so far, and we are very grateful for all your help.”
“My dad never wanted to make his battle with pancreatic cancer about himself. He believed in the power of sharing stories, and was all about helping others. Giving back is our family’s way to honor him and keep his legacy alive.”
“I lost my mom 12 years ago to pancreatic cancer. She was, in otherwise, perfect health. As president of Rolfe Foundation, I am fighting for her, and I am fighting for our future generations.”
Each year, more than 64,000 Americans are diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer,1 and less than 11% of those diagnosed will survive more than 5 years.2 These people are not just numbers to us. They’re our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, friends, and neighbors who were taken away from us by this deadly disease. For us, Pancreatic Cancer is personal.
