Wed, 16 May 2012 20:00:58 GMT

For the past three years, Shooting for a Cure has raised money for a Appendiceal Cancer research at MD Anderson with an annual sporting clays event. Here are a few testimonials from folks who've attended. Feel free to add yours, too, with the Comments link below (only your First Name will be posted with your comment) or e-mail to Shannon(at)ShootOutCancer.org. Thanks for the wonderful experience! I was completely blown away with the level of participation, and even more with the hospitality of all who were involved. The message that was transmitted to everyone was exceptional, and I was very honored to be invited. Hearing the story of your friend Ric Summers, and learning about everyone's role in the foundation for finding a cure seems to be one that everyone took very personally.

What is Appendiceal Cancer?

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:13:24 GMT

Appendix Cancer Appendix cancer is extremely rare, affecting an estimated 600 to 1,000 Americans each year. Tumors that occur in the appendix comprise a large group of both benign and malignant diseases. Even among those tumors that are cancerous, it is important to note that not all of them behave the same way. Some types exhibit a much more aggressive behavior (those that are referred to at a microscopic level as signet ring cells) compared to others (referred to as moderately differentiated or well-differentiated). In the early stages of the disease the appendix is removed, and tumor size is directly related to prognosis (outlook). Appendix tumors less than two centimeters have a low tendency to spread and patients generally have an excellent five-year survival rate, while tumors larger than 2.5 centimeters may require more aggressive treatment and patients have a lower survival rate.

About Ric Summers

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 00:36:18 GMT

Ric Summers, a loving husband, brother, son and best friend, was an avid hunter and fisherman as well as a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow. He received an Industrial Distribution degree from Texas A & M University in 2000, being a member of the class of 1999 and worked for GE Supply/Gexpro for eight years where he was a top leader in his business. He was an Eagle Scout and current Assistant Scout Master with Boy Scout Troop 440. With a love for life, he lived each and every day to its fullest!

After Ric lost his two-year battle to appendiceal cancer on Oct. 13, 2009, his wife established a fund at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston to find treatments and a cure for this extremely rare form of cancer.
