In Memory of Jeff Schulz
We've created this page to raise funds for research at Memorial Sloan Kettering in honor of our father, Jeff Schulz, and we hope you’ll consider joining the cause and making a donation.
Jeff was diagnosed in January of 2017 with neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas with metastesis to the liver. Jeff underwent a multitude of treatments over two years under the compassionate and expert care of Dr. Diane Reidy-Lagunas and her team at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Reidy managed multiple rounds of differing chemotherapy, and worked to get Jeff into a new therapy in spring of 2019. Under her skilled care, Jeff was able to continue to participate in the activities he loved, from photography and travel to China, Vietnam, and Antarctica, to being able to meet his two cherished grandchildren, both born in the last year of Jeff's life. Jeffs true passion for giving back and helping others never shone brighter than in the time since his diagnosis, and he was able to do many things he had planned for years. He was a true hero to many, from players he coached, to colleagues he worked with, to his wide circle of friends and family. After a marked deteriortation in the winter and spring of 2019, Jeff succumbed to his illness on Tuesday, April 16th, at the age of 62. He spent his final days at home, surrounded by loving family.
Many of the most important breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment have been brought to light at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and none of that progress would have been possible without support from people like you and me.
In fact, much of the most promising new research can't even begin without donations from individuals: in most cases, government funds become possible only after our support funds the early work that demonstrates real potential.
Too many of us know people who have faced a cancer diagnosis, and sometimes it's hard to know how we can make a difference. One of the most effective ways to help is to make sure the crucial work being done at Memorial Sloan Kettering continues to have the support that will drive it forward. We’ve created this page because we am determined to do our part.
When the next new breakthrough is announced, we want to know that we have been a part of making it happen, and it would mean that much more to us if you would join us in the effort so that we can say that we helped make it happen. Every dollar counts, and we hope you will be as generous as you can.
Thank you!
The Schulz Family
