Questions, answered.

What is duodenal cancer? A rare cancer of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine — less than 1% of all gastrointestinal cancers, which is why it receives so little research and funding. Where does my donation go? To research into duodenal and other rare cancers, awareness that helps catch them earlier, and support for families facing a rare diagnosis.

Is my donation tax-deductible? We are applying for 501(c)(3) status; donations are not yet tax-deductible — we’ll update this page the moment that changes. Who runs the organization? Paula and Michael McKinnon — Robert’s wife and son — in his loving memory. Reach us anytime: hello@robertsgardenofhope.org.
