Cathy and Greg Griffith
Cathy is a wife, mother of two amazing sons and became a widow at the age of 48. Her husband, Greg Griffith, was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic and liver cancer in the prime of his life.
Research is the key to more effective, less-invasive treatments for pancreatic cancer. The generosity of the Griffith Family Foundation grows more important by the day as traditional funding sources like government agencies, pharmaceutical Companies, and device manufacturers become less available.
$35,517.83 Raised!! We want to thank Dr. A. James Moser and the AFFPC board members for attending the 5th annual Griff’s Run & Gun weekend. Cathy presented the AFFPC with a $60,000 check to fund Dr. Moser’s pancreatic AFFPC research. Info regarding Dr. Moser’s research was distributed to the audience. Info regarding his research can be found at affpc.org.
We are extremely excited to announce the brand new Sideline Cancer® website. The concept started with a group of seniors at the Hollidaysburg High School in 2012. It started out as Tackle Cancer, which surrounded a football game night and T-shirt sale campaign. At the Penn State Pancreatic Symposium in 2012, the Griffith Family Foundation was introduced to Jack Andraka, who is the 2012 Intel Science and Engineering Fair Winner, Amateur Cancer Researcher, Education Activist, Medical Entrepreneur, and an Innovator. He suggested a name that would reflect all school activities and participation. The name Sideline Cancer® was then birthed due to his suggestion and a collaborative effort from the Griffith Family Foundation and students.
