66 SEENA MAGOWITZ FOUNDATION Pancreatic Cancer Warriors “What really impresses me is that Roger personally calls every donor to thank them for their generosity; people really appreciate that and as a result they continue to donate annually, for which I am eternally grateful to all.” Vitikas credits what he calls the “four Fs” for navigat - ing the post-cancer journey: “faith, friends, family and fitness.” He is grateful for his faith and the support of family and good friends during a difficult time in his life. “I’m very lucky,” he said. CURES FOLLOW MONEY Here’s what Vitikas says he’s learned in 10 years of advocacy: Progress and cures follow money: • Polio eradicated through research funded by the March of Dimes campaign. • Breast cancer: 91 percent 5-year survival rate today driven by billions of dollars in research funding. • HIV: now mostly a chronic, survivable disease due to massive U.S. government funding; • Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: survival rate grew from 4 percent to 90 percent today resulting from the efforts of Danny Thomas and the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Your donation does matter,” Vitikas said. “My hope is that countless others will continue to donate or help in any way possible. With your help, we can win this fight.” To reach Vitikas to donate, contact him by email at 2spaniels@cox.net . “ My hope is that countless others will continue to donate or help in any way possible.
