In 2012, Katy's mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and immediately received care from the team at Dana Farber--care that would ultimately result in her going on 5-years cancer-free! Mutations in the gene KRAS drive some of the most common lung cancers, yet there is no targeted therapy due to the complexity of this gene and its interactions in cells. To enable research on KRAS at Dana-Farber, Katy's parents established the Heerwagen Family Fund for Lung Cancer Research with a gift supporting David Jackman, MD. A gift of any amount will be donated to the Heerwagen Family Fund at Dana Farber, and would mean so very much to us and our families.
