PMP Research Foundation News, November 2011
 
After an exciting summer and fall filled with incredibly successful fundraising and educational events, PMPRF is thrilled to have received recent research updates from some of our past grant recipients. We are looking forward to announcing our 2011 grant funding decisions sometime in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
 
Fundraising Updates
PMPRF has benefited from some fantastically successful fundraising events over the past few months!
 
Our Third Annual Summer Scurry took place on August 13, 2011 in Independence Ohio, and raised $84,000 this year to benefit PMP research funded by PMPRF. It was once again an incredible day filled with family fun. See more at www.summerscurry.org.
 
Congrats to Tim Shaughnessy for completing Tim's CareFirst Half-Marathon in 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 18 seconds, and surpassing his fundraising goal for the PMP Research Foundation. Way to go Tim! Learn more at www.timscarefirst.org.
 
Amazing job Doug and Lindsey Selmont and their PMP Pub Crawl crew, who raised over $13,000 (600% of their goal) at their Second Annual event! Find out more at pubcrawl.pmpcure.org.

Research Updates
The only things that excite us more than successful fundraising events are successful research updates, and knowing that the money we have raised is making a difference in the understanding and treatment of PMP. We have received the following research updates from previous PMPRF grant recipients:

Thanks to these researchers for their dedication to studying PMP and finding ways to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of this disease; and thanks to our donors who make research like this possible!
 
Check back at our Research Grant page for more updates to come, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter to be notified as  soon as updates are posted.
 
PMPRF is proud to announce that it has become a member of the American Society of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies.
 
One of ASPSM's initiatives is to create a patient registry of patients with peritoneal surface malignancies, including PMP. This program, called PROGRESS in PSM aims to collect patient data from PMP patients and their physicians regarding how the most common peritoneal surface malignancies are diagnosed, how the the patients are treated, and their outcomes.
 
Collection and analysis of these data will help all healthcare providers and patients understand the importance of early recognition of the common signs and symptoms of peritoneal surface malignancies, as well as the importance of early referral to a multidisciplinary treatment center.
 
Find out more about how to participate in this program here.
 
PMPRF Online Auction
Beginning on February 21, 2012 through March 7, 2012, the PMP Research Foundation will be holding an online auction to raise much needed funds for PMP Cancer Research and Education.
 
Our event is scheduled to support Rare Disease Day on February 29, 2012 in order to spread awareness of PMP and the general message of Rare Disease Day.
 
We need your support! If you have any auction items or services to donate, please contact us at info@pmpcure.org. We'll be sending details soon on how you can bid on auction items to benefit PMPRF.
 
End of Year Giving
PMPRF  has raised over a half million dollars in three short years, and as of the end of this year, we will have funded $450,000 in  promising research studies designed to improve the lives of PMP patients.
 
Please keep us in mind as you make your end of year charitable giving decisions, and help us continue the incredible success we have achieved so far! Although we have made great strides, we won't rest until we find a cure for every patient afflicted by this disease. Donate now at pmpcure.org.
