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.

Bridge of Wings

DIRECT PATIENT SERVICES

Pancreatic cancer treatments are intensive and often far from home. With reduced ability to work, sometimes patients choose between daily living expenses or potentially life-saving treatment. NMF realized the unmet needs of patients are broad.

Bridge of Wings, commemoratively named after a historical flight around the world by Nikki Mitchell and Rhonda Miles, provides funds for holiday meals, groceries, house cleanings, transportation, prescription refills and much more. When a patient’s home is clean and there’s food on the table, they can spend their energy focusing on the care they need.

Every Donation Helps Families in Need

The financial burden during cancer is often one of the most detrimental aspects of the fight, for patients and their loved ones. NMF understands that the last thing they should be worried about is putting food on their table. Dollar for dollar, every donation to the Nikki Mitchell Foundation, go to families in need.
