Our dear cousins, Bill and Connie Reid, are participating in a walk funded by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in St. Louis October 18. They are walking in honor of Connie's friend and in honor of dad. Please don't feel pressured to contribute. I just wanted to take a moment to thank Bill and Connie for this kind gesture and to provide additional information to anyone who may want to offer a donation, or to participate in another way. The link to Bill and Connie's team page is below, followed by information about PanCan and the event in St. Louis.

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is a non-profit organization working to advance research, support patients and create hope for those affected by pancreatic cancer. The organization funds research grants, provides information and resources to patients and their families at no cost, pushes for increased federal research funding and educates the public about this disease.

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, yet it receives less funding per patient than other leading cancer killers. Your support helps the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network fulfill its mission and provides hope to the over 37,000 Americans who will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year.
