A Night of Music…. In Memory of Keith Lebo and James DeSantie

Please support this event in Memory of Keith Lebo and James DeSantie. Keith and Jim were related by the fact that they married sisters but beyond being brothers-in-law they were friends and considered each other family. Jim was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2008 and Keith was deeply affected and concerned for Jim. Unfortunately Keith was also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2009. Jim cried when he heard the news. Though their disease led them down different roads Keith passed on August 25, 2009 and Jim passed on August 3,2010. We have no doubt they are together as they made such a pact in this world. As many of you already know Saint Vincent’s Hospital opened the Elizabeth Pfriem SWIM Center for Cancer Care in February 2010 dedicated to cancer care in the area. Dr Stuart Marcus, the Chair of Oncology of Saint Vincent’s, has a wish to have within this new center an area dedicated to liver and pancreatic disease. We are asking our family, friends and community to join us to help make this happen at Saint Vincent’s Hospital. Only 4 percent of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will be alive in five years and most will die the first year. We need to support the hospitals, doctors and staff that would like to change this statistic. We again ask for your help to help us make a difference by supporting this cause.
