I recently lost my dear friend Dan to Chondrosarcoma. The Chondrosarcoma Foundation is featuring him in observance of International Chondrosarcoma Awareness Day today, February 6th. This is a day meant to bring education and awareness to this rare disease with no effective treatments other than surgery thus we are asking people to sign a petition to request more research and clinical trials. It is a rare cancer that ultimately cost Dan his life.
It was Dan’s wish to help others with this diagnosis so he joined the advisory board of the foundation last year.
In honor of Dan and his mission, the Foundation is establishing the Daniel B Hurley MD Endowment Fund https://csfshayna.org/endowment-fund/ which will assist Chondrosarcoma patients who receive denials of necessary treatment or care by enlisting legal assistance if necessary.
For those of you who would like to help, this can be done in 2 ways:
1. Sign and share the petition for more research and clinical trials: https://csfshayna.org/our-petition/
2. If you are so inclined, donate to the Daniel B Hurley, MD Endowment Fund and share this above information with friends, family, and colleagues: https://csfshayna.org/donate-to-chondrosarcoma-foundation/ be sure to check the box for the Endowment Fund.
