WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Jane died 13 years, three months, and six days ago as I write this. We've made huge strides in understanding the NET cancer that killed her since then. But we still have no cure--just ways to slow the disease down and improve patients' quality of life.
But we have had a breakthrough in diagnostics that will help us find the disease earlier--perhaps at a stage where we can take it out with a relatively straight-forward piece of surgery.
That test can also detect a wide range of other cancers at early stages--often before more obvious symptoms appear. We helped fund some of the early research that led to that test--a test at least one insurance company is looking into to make it part of every annual physical.
It's a game-changer.
But the end of cancer--especially NET cancer--remains elusive. There's lots we still don't understand.
We walk until there is a cure--not just for NET--but for every cancer.
We walk for those who can't--until they can.
Join us.
