Gastric Cancer Foundation is a national non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by gastric cancer and working with leading researchers to find a cure. Gastric Cancer Foundation grew out of one brave patient’s personal journey. When our founder, JP Gallagher, was diagnosed with gastric cancer in 2007, he was a busy 37-year old professional with a young and growing family. In fact, his wife was pregnant with their third child. His diagnosis was both shocking and frightening, and JP immediately began searching for information and hope. Both were in short supply. At the time, there was no centralized resource of information, and what was available offered little hope. JP’s difficult experience – and his recognition of a need for information and encouragement for all stomach cancer patients – became the seed of an idea that grew into the Gastric Cancer Foundation.
