Behind this touching story is a family that is now cementing their legacy thru supporting Pancreatic Cancer Research. The Zetz family story didn’t end with Jim’s walk down the aisle with Josie- that was just the beginning. On April 11, 2014 the Zetz Family established their foundation and jumped head first into their mission of finding a cure, better detection and gene identification; three short months later, Matthew "Jim" James Zetz III passed away on July 11th, 2014.

The Zetz family feels it is their life's purpose to find a way to not only test for but also find a cure for Pancreatic Cancer. Their goals are to create awareness and to assist in funding the cure, they are committed to making a difference. They are determined. They are hardworking. They are stubborn. They are passionate. They are not afraid.
