“The gas card program lets patients know that there are good people that do not know them personally attempting to lessen their burden in some small

• way. The gas cards are appreciated as much as a huge hospital bill being paid as it

is a form of sincere, thoughtful, and intentional support. Showing compassion is what helps many patients continue to survive day to day. It is received with much gratitude.”

Research Updates

Jeff Petty, MD Chair, Scientific Advisory Committee

V Foundation, Co-Funded Research

“Research has made only very minor advances in the past several decades, and a cure is very rare. Clearly, new approaches are

• needed. These new approaches must seek not small improvements,

but rather, dramatic ones, with the ultimate goal of curing a previously incurable disease.” –Dr. Weiss

Jared Weiss, MD UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Targeting GD2 Ganglioside in Small Cell Lung Cancer

Vicky Amidon Innovation in Lung Cancer Research Award

“Detecting lung cancer signatures in exhaled breath would greatly impact a clinician’s ability to detect cancer earlier and with minimally invasive tests, thereby impacting patient treatment and outcomes.” –Dr. Bishop
