Thanks given for H-S story

1 min read

I want to thank the Herald Standard for the wonderful article written by Olivia Goudy and published in the July 3 edition of your newspaper.

Helping to bring more awareness to pancreatic cancer is so important, especially since it is one of the deadliest cancers and even surpassed breast cancer last year by becoming the third deadliest form of the disease.

I was so honored when the organization I volunteer for, The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, asked me to represent them for the OVAC lobbying in Washington D.C. in June which consists of almost 50 different cancer non-profit organizations, PanCAN being one of them.

I was very proud to be with my Pennsylvania group which consisted of members associated with kidney, lung, brain and breast cancer while meeting with with assistants from Pennsylvania senators Robert Casey and Pat Toomey and U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Holidaysburg.

Thank you again for helping our community wage hope.
