The Pancreatic Cancer Network Help

"The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (http://www.pancan.org) released today a new Public Service Announcement (PSA: 90.76, -2.04, -2.19%) featuring Carnegie Mellon Professor, Dr. Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer and whose 'last lecture' reflecting on life's lessons has become an internet sensation. During the PSA, Pausch speaks about his diagnosis and the urgent need to fund pancreatic cancer research. Currently, less than 2% of the National Cancer Institute's federal research funding is allocated to pancreatic cancer, a figure farnightlife. High-tech, low-key. Big city, college town. Qgiven the severity of the disease. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the United States, yet it is the most under-recognized and least studied among all leading cancer killers.
'Randy Pausch has been an amazing champion for the pancreatic cancer community, and we are grateful for his time and efforts on behalf of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network,' stated President and CEO, Julie Fleshman. 'While Randy's efforts will not save his life, we hope the public will understand the sense of city with a heart and with a soul. Cosmopolitan, yet unpretentious. Thriving cultural scene and vibrant nightlife. High-tech, low-key. Big city, college town. Quirky and far from ordinary, it's the kind of place where you check your worries at the city limits sign, trade in suits for something a bit more urgency behind his message. We need to take action now by raising the appropriate funds for pancreatic cancer research that will ultimately lead to a cure.'
'There are very few advocates for this disease because patients don't live long enough, but I have been given a platform by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to raise my voice for this community,' added Dr. Pausch. 'With increased funding for research, the best scientific minds can make strides against this deadly disease and give patients a fighting chance.'"
