"We hope patients, families, friends, businesses, and organizations get involved and show their support," said Debbie Zelman, President and Founder of Debbie's Dream Foundation. "Whenever someone spreads the word or makes a donation for stomach cancer, it can truly make a difference not just during the month of November, but also throughout the entire year."

Debbie Zelman founded the organization in 2009 after being diagnosed with stage IV gastric (stomach) cancer. Debbie's Dream Foundation seeks as its ultimate goal to bring attention and action to this important cause. The organization encourages people to spread the word about early detection and screening because if someone is diagnosed at an early stage, the chances of being cured dramatically increase.
