Tim Fugger, YPB Member

Tim's heart is purple for his father, who lost his battle to pancreatic cancer during Tim's sophomore year of high school. His loss inspired Tim to join the YPB in the fight for finding an early detection method.

According to Tim, "since my loss, I have never met a single person who had a similar story to me. It brings me great satisfaction to join a foundation and group of people that are are fighting for the same things I am."

Now, for some fun facts about Tim...
