Frankie Banali Foundation

The Frankie Banali foundation's mission is to raise awareness and to give the gift of early detection. We aim to educate the public on the importance of being one's own advocate about getting screened for diseases much earlier than many current doctors and insurance companies recommend. We feel that telling Frankie Banali's story of cancer misdiagnosis, which caused him to pass away from pancreatic cancer at 68, through a public campaign will save lives. The entity will advocate to the government for patients with no symptoms but with family history who wish to be scanned as a precaution to have the procedure covered by their health insurance.
