Help Jim Spalt Fight Pancreatic Cancer

Our dad, Jim Spalt, has always been one of the healthiest people we know—someone who takes care of his body and lives an active, healthy lifestyle. But in a cruel twist of fate, Jim was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on February 1st, 2025. We never imagined this would be a part of Jim's story. Pancreatic cancer is a fast-moving and aggressive illness with unfavorable odds. In most cases, it can progress from stage 1 to stage 4 in as little as a year, making every day feel more precious than the last. Jim is a stage 3 and his tumor is inoperable as of now.

We are desperately searching for any and all alternative options to shrink his tumor. As a family, we are holding onto hope and praying for a miracle, but we are also facing a very real financial challenge. While Jim plans to receive traditional treatments covered by insurance, we know there are other therapies and resources, in addition to traditional treatments, that could greatly improve his chances of overcoming cancer and ultimately becoming cancer-free—while maintaining his quality of life. Unfortunately, the financial burden of seeking these treatments outside of what insurance covers is something we cannot bear alone.

That’s why we are turning to our community. We are humbly asking for your support so that we can give Jim the best possible care in his fight against this aggressive cancer.

Please, if you can contribute in any way—even if it’s just by sharing his story—we would be forever grateful. Together, we can help Jim fight with all the strength and hope he deserves.

We thank you and ask for your continued prayers and support!

(His seven children) Jamie, Eric, Andrew, George, Carly, Edward, and Caroline.
