PREVENT DETECT CURE

Nikki Mitchell Foundation is dedicated to providing comfort and relief for those affected by pancreatic cancer, while raising awareness and supporting research that directly and indirectly affects pancreatic patients.

Join the Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer

In December 2010, Nikki Mitchell was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given a possible three-month prognosis. Taking the bull by the horns she consulted with renowned medical professionals around the country and her zeal for life never diminished. After thirty-one months of battling this disease, Nikki embarked upon her final adventure on July 9th, 2013.

Nikki shared her last wishes with her best friend, Rhonda Miles, who has dedicated her own life to carrying out Nikki's vision for pancreatic cancer research, support, and patient services. With your help, we can touch even more lives.
