💥 PancreasFest 2026
😥 Christyn Taylor, mother of children with hereditary pancreatitis and great suffering, gives an empasioned plea to physicians and scientists to continue pushing for a cure - and for better pain control. (severity = 15-20 on a scale of 1-10)
👍Christyn started Rebecca's Wish - an NPO to help kids with chronic pancreatitis by helping in diagnosis and sponsoring Camp Hope for the kids.
