Our StoryThe Edgerton.Life Pancreatic Cancer Foundation was established to carry on the work and the fight that our founder (Andrew Fletcher Edgerton) had originally waged. Diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer at the age of 37 and given just months to live, he far exceeded estimates and fought relentlessly for nearly 2 years. In October of 2017, just 16 hours from his 40th birthday, Andy passed away. During his own treatment he choose to devote himself to something larger than just himself, by educating others about the disease, by shining the spotlight on his own story and by creating a mission to build a resource to make the path easier for those who would come after him. Thus, the foundation was born.
