Foundation Meeting in SLC – results

Well said Sara.

It’s good to note that this website has already made a difference. I think I’m correct that we’ve had over 300 participants (rick ??) not to mention the ripple to families, friends and care givers. It’s now a resource for people newly diagnosed that simply was not available anywhere a few years ago. The foundation is growing from this seed.
Thank you Stacie, Rick and all of Mark’s family.

I think donating in memory of a loved one is a wonderful idea. When my husband died of cc, we had donations sent to John Hopkins biliary research center. I wish I had known about this site before, but I guess no matter where you donate, it still helps people with cc.

Kate and devoncat – it’s not intuitive at all, but there is a donations button on the wiki page. I think this link may take you to the paypal account: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

If it doesn’t take you to a page that lists “The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation” at the top, then go to the wiki page and just click on the donation button. It’s in the lower, right corner of the page. Maybe we can get Rick to add the button to the top of every page until the new website is launched.

On our way home from SLC (three of us were on the same flight to Houston), one of the board members was sitting next to a passenger who lost a relative to cholangiocarcinoma several years ago. I still have chills thinking about the forces that were in play all weekend surrounding the meetings…

I think a way to make donations over the internet, maybe something like paypal would be nice. I think it would be wonderful if there was a way people could easily donate in honor or in memory of someone specifically for cholangiocarcinoma.
