Jenny Isaacson was attending a conference when she heard Julie Fleshman, President and CEO of The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, speak about her vision of progress to double the survival rate for pancreatic cancer by the year 2020. Jenny was so impressed by Julie and her vision that she also wanted to be part of that vision. Jenny picked up the phone called Julie, that was ten years ago. Though Jenny has filled different positions since joining PanCAN her position now allows her to oversee partnerships including the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition.

Every experience, everyone's journey, can bring hope and inspiration, if we all work together to make a difference.”
November is important for those affected by pancreatic cancer in that it gives us a designated month to go the extra mile to bring awareness to the world's toughest cancer. World Pancreatic Cancer Day, is celebrated on the third Thursday of November. This year it falls on November 18 #WPCD a day to nationally recognize pancreatic cancer, bring awareness by wearing purple, decorate home/office take a photo and post on social media.

I'm excited (and nervous) to announce that Episode One of the new Take A Break Podcast went live this morning on WPCD 88.7, Parkland College's radio station. It is now officially has wings, and is ready for your listening pleasure. For the inaugural episode, I sat down with WPCD’s Director, Deane Geiken, to talk about, well, lots of things. As a reminder, I'm open to talking to anyone about anything, in the hope that I'll inform, entertain, and possibly inspire you, as well as learn something myself. Everyone's got a story to tell, and I want to know a bit more about the folks who live around us. Every other Friday, you can hear my interviews with chefs, movie directors, animal rescue organizations, and solar power experts, to name a few. Don’t worry if you miss the first airing on WPCD 88.7, or you simply want to listen to it again, because it’s now available for streaming and download. Right here.
