WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Thank you for your time in reading my story. I appreciate any contribution to give all of us hope in dealing with this deadly cancer.
TODAY A DIAGNOSIS OF UVEAL MELANOMA IS GRIM:
- There is no cure at this time
- 50% of people diagnosed have a 5-year survival rate
THERE IS HOPE:
- There are research studies that new immunotherapies could improve survival rates in metastatic melanoma
- With more research dollars more clinical trials and genetic studies can occur to understand and develop targeted therapies
- Awareness of this disease will help more people get eye exams annually and watch for the danger signs
WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We are supporting Dana-Farber's Dr. Rizwan Haq in advancing research projects to develop targeted therapies to control the growth of this disease and hopefully find a cure. Due to the generous outpouring of donors, we are raising our goal to $300,000. We have been amazed at the generosity of all of you. Every donation will make a huge difference. Thanks to all of you for being so supportive!
