Lisa Manheim is a force! And when her equally tenacious mom, Agi Hirshberg, recruited her to help find a cure for pancreatic cancer after losing her husband to the disease at just 54-years-old, Lisa said “yes”. She left her prestigious retail career and began what is now a 25-year purpose-filled mission as Executive Director of the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
In this first episode, Lisa shares the love story of Agi and Ron Hirshberg, and how his diagnosis and passing left his devastated family determined to help other patients and families affected by this disease.
Lisa's most important advice to those fighting pancreatic cancer? There ARE long-term survivors! Don't get sucked into the "statistics" and "facts", which can admittedly feel daunting. Why can't YOU be one of the survivors?! Try to remain hopeful throughout your treatment. Keep a positive mindset and focus on those survivor stories. Please reach out to the Hirshberg Foundation if you need support, connection and community.
Coming up in Part 2 of my interview with Lisa, you’ll learn about two of MY favorite Hirshberg events: The Tour de Pier (coming up Sunday, May 19) and the LA Cancer Challenge 5K walk/run (Sunday, October 27).
