Raise Money for Pancreatic Cancer Research in Honor of Randy Pausch
Dear Friends, Colleagues and Followers of Randy Pausch,
This year, we would like to flood the "Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research" with as many friends of Randy's from Carnegie Mellon and/or Pittsburgh as possible.
The PanCan Registration Website is now up and running and we're eager to receive your application! Please join and/or support "PAUSCH'S PEOPLE", which can be easily found by clicking on the link below. We hope to make this a banner year for PanCan, but we need your help to do so. "PAUSCH'S PEOPLE" is open to anyone, so please don't hesitate to ask your friends and family, or pass this email on to anyone you think might be interested.

"Picking Up The Pace"

For anyone asking "Who is Randy Pausch?"- he is a very important part of the history of the gaming industry here in Pittsburgh- many local developers who graduated from Carneige Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center (which Randy co-founded) have benefited from his well-known "Building Virtual Worlds" course.
