Dr. Moser Headed to Harvard Medical School

The foundation is incredibly excited to announce that Dr. A. James Moser is headed to Harvard University, where he plans to lead a group of top pancreatic cancer experts whose focus will be to cure pancreatic cancer once and for all!

Cathy Griffith made the following post on her CarePages account yesterday:

“‘Wow, wow, wow’ were the last words spoken by Steve Jobs on his death bed from pancreatic cancer. He said these words as he starred at his bedroom ceiling seeing what I KNOW was heaven. Many of you saw the 60 minutes interview and Jobs said he was 50/50 about the existence of God. Well, when I saw these were Jobs’ last words I knew that he was seeing heaven, because Greg starred at the ceiling in awe also before his death. I look at this story as David and Goliath, here we have a billionaire who NEVER spoke of his pancreatic cancer and Greg Griffith who crusaded for the cause relentlessly and openly!!

GOT AWESOME NEWS to share with you all! I just got off the phone with Dr. Moser and he has officially announced that he is taking the lead position at Harvard Medical School with the intent of forming a pancreatic dream team to find a cure for this monster called Pancreatic Cancer! The awesome news is that he is taking the Greg and Cathy Griffith Family Foundation with him to Harvard and through this foundation he hopes to FUND a CURE!!! He will continue seeing patients in Pittsburgh till March and then he and his family plan to move to Boston.

Jordan, Jamie and I are soo excited because we have seen with our eyes what good and beauty can come out of the ugly when we give it to God! Alot awaits us all upstream!
