Thank you for visiting our Giving Page in memory of Ken to support cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.
We owe the medical staff of Dana-Farber a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. Ken was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, and they enabled him to live well for two and a half years.
Dana-Farber provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults and is home to groundbreaking cancer discoveries. Since its founding in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of community efforts to advance Dana-Farber’s mission.
As many reading this already know, Ken had a few philosophies: living life in the moment, spending time with friends and family, and starting new adventures. He wrote about coming to terms with his disease and maintaining those philosophies in his article, Time Passages, published by New Hampshire Magazine, found here: https://www.nhmagazine.com/time-passages/.
Thank you so much for your donation.
-Joan Kartes and family.
