Thanks to President Obama from a high school classmate:
The Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act Is Now Law, formerly known as the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act was signed by President Obama today!
Thank you to everyone who wrote letters, made the phone calls, attended district meetings. Our voices have made a difference! We have more reason to have hope to double the survival rate by 2020.
Let your congresspeople & Pres Obama know we appreciate their work.
Classmate is a survivor, had his pancreas removed.
