I ride for myself and those like me with Neuroendocrine Cancer
Team Heidi's Heroes will be riding in our 8th Pan Mass Challenge Bike-a-thon (the PMC) on Aug 2 and 3, 2025. Our purpose is to support research on pancreatic cancer. The funds our team raises will directly support the Neuroendocrine Cancer Research Program lead by Dr. Jennifer Chan at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Dr. Chan's lab is conducting seminal national research for the treatments of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer.
As many of you know, in 2010 I developed pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer (think Steve Jobs and Aretha Franklin). Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Cancer typically begins as a tumor in the pancreas (or gastrointestinal tract) and metastasizes to the liver. Because it may not cause symptoms early on, it is usually stage 4 when it is diagnosed. There are no known causes or risk factors. It affects people aged 20 and over. At present there is no cure. There are now medications that slow the growth of the tumor that can work for an undetermined period of time. (I am on one such medication.) The search is for more effective medications and eventually, sooner than later for me, A CURE!!! Your donation will support research that will shorten this journey!
A donation of any size is greatly appreciated!!
