MEMBER HIGHLIGHT: THE JOHN E. SABGA FOUNDATION
The John E. Sabga (JES) Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer was founded in November 2017 in Trinidad and Tobago by Natalie Sabga, through deep sadness at the loss of her husband after his short battle with pancreatic cancer. It was through their relentless journey in search of a cure that the Sabgas realized the importance of research and the need for clinical trials. Through its public awareness campaign, the JES Foundation is working to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer so earlier detection can be achieved.
