Pancreatic Cancer Walk
Medford
Today dozens of people hit the track to bring awareness to pancreatic cancer.
The event was held at North Medford High School this morning and organized by Brittany Willits as part of her senior project.
"It's not really out there like breast cancer and it's very hard to detect. So I figure if we make more people aware of it, then more people can be conscious about it."
Willits says she raised nearly five-hundred dollars. All the proceeds will be donated to the Lustgarden Foundation, a non-profit that aims to find a cure for the disease.

When I think about cancer, I think about the people in the world who have done the most innovative things to treat it and succeeded at it, then I look at what they're up to nowadays. Follow the doctors who succeed. No need to play guessing games. My top following is the guy who built a cancer treatment and sold it for $6.5 BILLION (Erbitux, one of the top head and neck cancer treatments today). I think he's one of the people everyone should be following when it comes to the ultimate cure for cancer. This article was very informative for me in terms of figuring out where real scientists with hundreds of millions in personal wealth are putting their time, even when they don't need to work: http://www.trefis.com/stock/snti/articles/168060/could-dr-harlan-waksals-final-gift-to-the-world-be-the-cure-for-cancer/2013-02-11
Follow the money, right? Why would someone with almost a billion dollars in personal wealth be working on this new cancer treatment? I bet this Erbitux guys believes he has found it...
