Debbie's Dream Foundation's Response to COVID-19

Debbie’s Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer (DDF) cares about the general well-being of our community. With the unforeseeable spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we are doing our part in minimizing the spread of this disease by participating in “social distancing” as outlined in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. As a result, we have temporarily postponed many of our in-person events,  and our staff continues to work remotely to stay safe and still serve the stomach cancer community.
