My name is Eran, and I was the clinical fellow who spoke just before you. I wish I had the chance to say hello in person at the event, but I happened to miss you. I asked for your email so that I could write to you to thank you for sharing your story and personal journey. What you shared really touched me and personalized so much of the patient journey that occurs outside of our clinic offices.
Thank you for that. I hope you got good scan results today. If I can ever be of any help, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Eran Hodis MD, PhD
“thank you again from myself, my coaches, my players and the parents for your speech the other night. You were amazing and I have had multiple parents, players and coaches echo these sentiments. Your story is remarkable and one that I will continue to echo throughout the season. I can only hope if faced with similar odds and circumstances that I would react in the manner you did. It truly is GameDay, everyday. Thanks,
Coach Pithy” -NHS Head Football Coach
Bill kindly agreed to speak at one of our Jimmy Fund Golf tournaments, the Dana-Farber Driving to a Cure Golf Classic event. He shared his experience as a patient at Dana-Farber, personalizing the patient journey and demonstrating just how important philanthropy is in driving forward both research and care for patients and their families. He was a wonderful and engaging speaker, and we were so grateful for his willingness to share his story!
