It has been 10 years since Julie passed away, but our belief in supporting research efforts gets stronger every year. Julie walked the first few times we did this walk – thus this is now our 15th year doing this.
To honor those 10 years since her passing, we are raising the game and the Firsty and extended Seltzer families are sponsoring a NETRF Mentored Research Award in her name focused on understanding and treatment of lung NETs (which is what she had).
This award funds a multi-year research project led by an early-career scientist. All the money we raise over the next 2 years supports this effort
This past September when we usually do the walk, Susan and I were traveling in Alaska, Shay and Alana were both studying (and having fun) at their respective universities in Southern California, and a last minute work trip for me to Texas made doing the walk in Palo Alto not possible, so…over Thanksgiving week, we all will be in Florida which gives us a chance to:
Julie went above and beyond, partaking in numerous research trials. We will do no less to help NETRF find a cure. Our goal this year is to reach $35,000..and with some fundraising in advance, we are almost there. With your help we can surpass that goal and really make some serious research inroads.
Please join the NETRF in honoring the memory of Julie by supporting our 2024 Moonlight Walk.
