Ron's Vision
In 2007, Madison-based entrepreneur Ron Skoronski was diagnosed with lymphoma and was stunned to learn two things. First, the lack of information available about the 40 different kinds of lymphoma and second, the struggles that even a world class facility like the University of Wisconsin – Madison has in garnering funds for an 'unknown' type of cancer. After meeting with hematologist, Dr. Brad Kahl, Ron realized that they could become a team fighting against lymphoma and dedicated to finding cures. Ron personally donated $1 million to establish the fund which has ensured that important research could begin immediately and has allowed research to accelerate at a much faster pace. Ron realized that 'Forward' is not just his native state's political motto, but an important tenant of life for every lymphoma patient. He devotes his time and efforts to making Forward Lymphoma the leading fund raising organization for lymphoma research in the Midwest.
