Randy Pausch's testimony to the Labor, Health and Human Serv

Back



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.

I highly appreciate your words, love, patient, simplicity and your gentle behaviour. I wish we had many of Randy in our world, because we need to be educated and encouraged properly. Randy, I swear on god that I miss you too much and whenever I watch your videos my heart goes out for you but I can not prevent myself from watching your interviews and lectures. I sincerely and humbly have special regards to his brave wife and lovely children. May god bless you Randy and your soul rest in peace.

My father died of pancreatic cancer 4 months after his diagnosis. I am thankful for Dr. Pausch and the efforts he made to increase awareness of this disease. Research for this disease is significantly underfunded.

I think this man has done so much good in this world. He has opened our minds to a cancer, and make us think about it and make a change. After watching his last lecture I really understood his love for his family and his students and job. He is a great man and didnt deserve any of this. I could never say he was SELF CENTERED or his WIFE just wanted the MONEY. I garenttee his family would choose him over any money. I hope you feel ashamed zzzFATxxTONYzzz. You are just terrible!
