DDF is looking for advocates from all over the United States to attend, raise their voice, and support stomach cancer research. Every voice matters in this fight, including those of survivors, patients, caregivers, family members, supporters, healthcare professionals, and researchers. Previous DDF advocate efforts have led to stomach cancer being included among those cancers eligible for funding under the Department of Defense's Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP).  DDF is working hard to  keep stomach cancer on the list of cancers eligible for research funding under the PRCRP and that more resources are allocated toward studying this underfunded cancer through the National Cancer Institute.

About Debbie's Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer  
DDF was founded in 2009 by Debbie Zelman after she was diagnosed with stage IV incurable stomach cancer in 2008 and given only weeks to live. Zelman immediately began to educate herself about this disease and to seek the best available care. When she responded favorably to her treatment, Debbie founded DDF which now has chapters throughout the United States, Canada, and Germany and a Medical Advisory Board of renowned doctors from across the country and internationally. Now, almost eight years later, Debbie is still receiving chemotherapy and is thrilled to be able to watch her three children grow up.
