Not in a million years would we expect to hear the word "cancer" let alone one that we have never heard of.  But the Wilger family is ready to fight & bring awareness and recognition to Liver/Bile Duct Cancer. We are very new to this small community, but we are determined to find our path.

I am very excited to share with you the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation’s second virtual athletic fundraiser called Moving for the Cure! This fundraiser allows participants in any area of the world, of any age, and of any athletic ability to raise money through an athletic event or physical activity of their choosing and perform it during the week of July 18.

On Saturday, July 24th @ 9 AM we will host a mini walk at Veterans Memorial Park (the helicopter park) 906 Clough Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45245.  Becky (@MSUbecky19) will also be coordinating live rides on Peloton with the tag #M4C2021.  Register by July 2nd and get your shirt in time for the walk!

As you VIRTUALLY participate (i.e. evening walks, taking your dog for a walk, dancing, rollerblading, ANYTHING!) please wear your GREEN and tag us on Facebook & Instagram Steve Wilger, Marianne Schulte Wilger & Becky Wilger Stapleton!  Don't forget #L18strong And tag #M4C2021 #movingforthecure #cureCCA #bileductcancer

About Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation

The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation is the only non-profit organization in North America exclusively dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected by cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). Approximately 10,000 people in the United States are diagnosed each year with this hard-to-diagnose, difficult-to-treat, fatal type of cancer. Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare but deadly cancer that has very little name recognition or awareness. Due to this lack of visibility, it is often overlooked as symptoms can mimic those of other illnesses and diagnosis comes too late. Conventional cancer treatments remain ineffective against cholangiocarcinoma, and most people diagnosed with advanced disease have less than a 5% chance of surviving at least five years. While almost 2 out of 3 people with bile duct cancer are 65 or older, people of nearly any age can be diagnosed. There has been an alarming increase in the past decade of young individuals being diagnosed in their 20's, 30's or 40's.
