Margo Gibson's Fundraiser

Help Margo Gibson Fight Pancreatic Cancer

In late May of this year, Margo was diagnosed with Stage III pancreatic cancer (pancreatic adenocarcinoma).

She is undergoing chemotherapy – a cocktail of four drugs, one of the heaviest doses allowable in the United States. Oncologists at Sloan Kettering are aiming to shrink the tumor enough to operate, since it currently touches one artery and is wrapping around another artery. They may also administer another round of chemo and/or radiation following the surgery.

As anyone who knows Margo would expect, she is facing this diagnosis with her characteristic tenacity, pragmatism and bravery. In late June, she said goodbye to her coworkers at Caliper Studios in Bushwick, a job she loves, in order to focus on treatment and healing. John, her husband, and their two kids, Declan (14) and Severine (11) and their dog Lucy, will be by her side in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

The coming months are not going to be easy, but the support of friends and family will make all the difference.

We are asking you to be as generous as you can in Margo’s time of need.

All money will go directly to Margo and her family. Funds will help offset her loss of income, medical expenses not covered by insurance, and the many other outlays of money necessary to provide comfort to her as she fights cancer and recovers from this overwhelming ordeal.

No donation is too small, and anything you can contribute will make a difference.

She and her family are already very grateful for the support they’ve received in the wake of this diagnosis.

Margo has started a blog on CaringBridge.com. You can read it here: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/margogibson

We will also have a fundraising event for Margo after her surgery in the fall, where some of her favorite local bands and DJs will perform. We plan to set up a Facebook page for updates on this and other related news. When it is up and running we will send out the link to our donors.

Thank you so much for your love and support. We will continue to keep you all updated on Margo’s progress, and ask you to keep her, and her family in your hearts.

With Love,

Marisa, Shannan, Kathy

PS Any unused funds will be donated to the American Cancer Society
