Final push, Duke Rides is less than two weeks away! Help us drive the science forward so we can improve outcomes for patients! @DukeSurgOnc @DukeHealth @DukeCancer @DukeSurgery @DukeMedSchool @DukeU @colontown @curecc @FightCRC @dak @JonScheyer @eaonc @JournalCancer
I’m excited to 🚲 with the GI Multi-D team at the Duke Rides event to raise funds for GI cancer research. Despite advances, far too many patients still face limited Rx options. Research is how we change that!
Please consider donating. Everything helps!
