Avner Nahmani passed away from pancreatic cancer on 30 October 2008.
In the months prior to Avner’s death, he and his wife Caroline established the Avner Nahmani Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund - an extraordinary legacy for all future sufferers of this lethal cancer. It was Avner’s aim through the Fund to raise awareness and funds that will assist in improving outcomes for patients.To achieve these aims more research into pancreatic cancer is desperately needed – around 2,000 Australian are diagnosed and die each year with fewer than 5% surviving more than 5 years – a survival rate that hasn’t improved in over 40 years.
The objective of the fund is to raise funds for support services, fund research and to build awareness of this disease.
Please donate to this worthy cause that will help improve the lives of people with this little known cancer.
