Randy Pausch's Chilling Testimony on Pancreatic Cancer

submitted by notarobot

1 decade 6 years 1 month 2 weeks ago

On March 13, 2008, Dr. Randy Pausch provided testimony to the Labor, Health & Human Services Subcommittee on behalf of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. This is his personal story about his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and his fight to survive.

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, but receives extremely little federal funding to support research efforts. In March of 2008, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network went to Congress to urge the federal government to provide critical funding to speed the cure for this horrible disease. (YT)

Dr. Pausch passed away July 25, 2008. You can read about the impact his message had on the world here.

The Last Lecture that made him famous is finally back on the sift.

Moving this video to notarobot's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

A little *begging for more awareness about a killer disease.

Pausch begins speaking to the committee about one minute in.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter notarobot.

Any thing that puts a spotlight on the disease that robbed the world of Bill Hicks deserves an upvote.

I *beg science and medicine, for greater understanding of a terrible disease that has robbed us of brilliant minds.

Send it to *Begger's Canyon, Sifty. People gotta know about this.
