Gastric Cancer Foundation is participating in Ready. Raise. Rise., a campaign sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb to raise awareness of Immuno-Oncology (I-O) research, including the emerging area of biomarkers. This year, Ready. Raise. Rise. is introducing the Pic Your Power challenge—and we hope that you’ll take part!
We know that facing cancer takes enormous personal strength—and that each person’s inspiration is unique to them. That’s why we’re asking you to show how you harness your unique inner power to rise up against the disease.
To participate in the Pic Your Power challenge, go to Facebook and share a photo holding a sign that says #ReadyRaiseRise. Remember to review the submissions guidelines to ensure your photo will be accepted. With a total of one hundred photo submissions, Bristol-Myers Squibb will donate $250,000 to be split evenly across participating cancer advocacy groups—including us!

In April 2014, John Gyselbrecht was a beloved, active, healthy and happy math teacher, husband, son, brother and friend. Just 11 months later, gastric cancer took his life. Before John died, he publicly expressed his hope that one day, funding for this disease would allow sufferers to measure their lives in decades, not months, and eventually a cure would be found.
John’s friends and family will be clearing the coast of cigarette butts and other garbage this September. John, who had a Master’s in Environmental Education, cared about the plight of the oceans. Pismo Beach gave John particular comfort while enduring his chemotherapy treatments.
Through a fundraising campaign launched by John and his wife Stacy during his treatment, and the annual grassroots Guts and Butts events that honor John’s memory, over $88,000 has been raised for Gastric Cancer Foundation. The hope is to reach $100,000 through this 4th and final Guts and Butts event.
