One Step Closer – Showered with Love in Illinois
Early this year we told you about Lisa Simpson who lost her brother Nicky John to bile duct cancer 21 short days after diagnosis in April of 2014 and how she wanted to do something in his honor to raise awareness. Co-Founder Sue Acquisto of The Bili Project Foundation traveled to Illinois to meet Lisa, Ruth Kramp and their team of BILIever volunteers in person to thank them for the tremendous work they did in bringing awareness to Bile Duct Cancer. Sue received such a warm welcome upon arrival and was presented with a check in the amount of $15,375.59 which they raised from the two fundraisers organized earlier this year. Sue commented, “This group of volunteers who have had personal losses and challenges in their life are an inspiration, they worked together tirelessly with the support of their community businesses to raise this money in support of The Bili Project Foundation.” She expressed to this group of BILIevers, how grateful the foundation is and that every dollar they raised will go towards our continued efforts in raising awareness and finding a cure for this disease.
