I am pleased to be on the Board of No Stomach For Cancer. I met Karen Chelcun Schreiber about a year ago and was moved by the Chelcun family’s extreme challenges resulting from Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer. I was also moved by the remarkable strength of her family and others facing similar challenges. They have turned a devastating diagnosis into a passion for educating and serving other families faced with stomach cancer.

I own a graphic design firm and felt my best contribution would be to help the No Stomach For Cancer communications to convey the positive, optimistic, and courageous attitude of these remarkable families. I also want to help facilitate researchers and healthcare providers communicate their discoveries with one another and with families.

It is my great privilege to use the experience and skills I have to serve those committed to advancing research, education, improved healthcare options and support to families suffering from stomach cancer.
