Most people, like Kerrie, haven’t been tested for the DPYD mutation and don’t know they have DPD deficiency until after they receive their first dose of 5-FU or capecitabine. For some, that is too late.

Running my 9th Northcoast 24 Hr race @VRWooster September 22. Running in honor of @StrongMomOrg Kerrie Prettitore who passed away recently after 4 yr fight from 1 chemotherapy treatment. Had testing 4 #DPDdeficiency been required, she’d be alive today. https://t.co/RrvafUqr37
3 weeks ago I ran 208 miles in 72 hrs at #3DATF. I run for 8 year old Andrew who lives with #CAH. Raising awareness and money for @caresfoundation. Here’s the story! https://t.co/4s1Vbl6zc4
