About Us
The Ralph Bates pancreatic cancer research fund...
The Ralph Bates Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund was founded in memory of the beloved actor Ralph Bates, known for his iconic roles on stage and screen. Ralph’s legacy inspires our mission to fund innovative research, giving hope to those affected by pancreatic cancer and working towards a cure.
Our funding supports groundbreaking work at St George's University of London, uncovering treatments like Gemcitabine combinations and non-toxic agents, proving that progress is possible.
By prioritizing affordable, less harmful treatments and exploring cutting-edge therapies, we aim to transform care for pancreatic cancer patients. With your support, we can continue advancing research and offering life-changing solutions.
