No one expects to be told they have pancreatic cancer in the emergency room, with less than a 1% chance of survival, but that’s exactly what happened to Greg Adams. Determined to find another path, he sought six second opinions, ultimately raising his chances to 2%, and in his words “doubling my odds!” That gave him the drive to keep fighting.
Today, Greg is a seven-year survivor who spends much of his time helping others navigate diagnosis and recovery. His Life After Whipple program, featured on Sky Foundation’s YouTube channel, has become a lifeline for patients searching for answers, clarity, and hope at a time when support can feel scarce. He also helped launch our Sky Support Circle, a team of “Sky Advocates” who stand with newly diagnosed individuals and their families during the most uncertain moments of their lives.
At Sky Foundation, our mission is raising awareness and funding innovative research for early detection and treatment of pancreatic cancer. We encourage our community to learn the symptoms, understand personal risk factors, get genetic testing, and advise newly diagnosed patients to explore clinical trials. We provide vital information, trusted resources, and a compassionate community for patients, caregivers, and survivors.
Greg’s courage and advocacy for himself reflects a truth at the heart of Sky Foundation: patients deserve more than a prognosis—they deserve possibilities.
Your gift today ensures Sky can continue to offer guidance, education, and connection to those facing one of the most challenging diagnoses imaginable.
Thank you for being a vital partner in this journey.
