Almost 200 DC Walk for Bladder Cancer participants in front of the Jefferson Memorial

To EVERYONE who participated in BCAN’s Annual Walks for Bladder Cancer, THANK YOU for your inspired participation and generous support. By wearing your orange t-shirt and walking with us, you not only helped fund much needed bladder cancer research, but have made an impact in each of your communities around the country by raising awareness.  Together we ARE making a difference toward awareness and a cure for bladder cancer, one step at a time.

Just as National Cancer Research month begins, we are pleased to announce the recipients of the $100,000 grants:

David DeGraff, PhD, a Postdoctoral Fellow                                                    at  Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Debashis Sahoo, PhD, an Instructor at  Stanford University

Gopa Iyer, MD a Clinical Instructor                                                                        at  Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

BCAN President and Co-Founder, Diane Zipursky Quale commented, “Research in bladder cancer is woefully underfunded, so we are incredibly grateful to our supporters for contributing private dollars to help young, innovative investigators stay in the field of bladder cancer research.”
