I started to volunteer for this amazing foundation in 2002, just shortly after I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer. Very quickly this organization represented family to me - a group that understood my pain and gave me a positive direction to move forward. It's important to stay involved with fundraising, educating and helping others affected by pancreatic cancer and the Hirshberg Foundation makes that possible. I'll be forever grateful for this connection.

6 years ago I had a successful Whipple Procedure at the UCLA Agi Hirshberg Center for Pancreatic Diseases. As a pancreatic cancer survivor, never would I have imagined what an extremely difficult journey lay ahead. Agi and her staff at the Hirshberg Foundation have been on this journey with me in my highs and my lows. They are an amazing group of people who have become my Purple family. I truly feel I could not have made it this far without their love and support.

The Hirshberg Foundation is, quite simply, a great organization that funds pancreatic cancer research and provides outstanding support to those affected by the disease. I have seen first-hand the great work being done by the Hirshberg foundation as I am a six-survivor of the disease who has ongoing needs and I keenly follow developments that may lead to a cure of one of the most-dreaded cancers.

I am currently battling cancer and the foundation has been very helpful in putting me in contact with various doctors, hospitals and related services in helping with my treatments and understanding of the disease.

Their help and response has always been timely and helped me cope with my disease.
