BRIAN SHUL
SR-71 Pilot
For those of you who heard my brother Brian speak at WINGS OF HOPE benefits, you know how deep and real his passion for life was. No moment was to be wasted, no day was to be taken for granted. Brian would give many speeches to many groups around the world, but he never felt the warmth and support like he did from all of you at those ‘Evening of Hope’ events.
Last evening Brian spoke to a large military group in Reno, Nevada. People there who had heard him speak before said they never heard him speak this passionate about life, his life, and his gratitude for it all. After his speech and after his book signing Brian suffered a heart attack and collapsed. He was administered CPR and rushed to the hospital, where he passed away.
Many days and weeks and months from now I will come to grips with what I am writing here. But for now, thank you for all the love and affection you gave him. It meant the world.

WINGS OF HOPE for PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH was formed in February 2012 by Maureen A. Shul after losing her mother and brother within months of one another to pancreatic cancer. The non-profit foundation is dedicated to raising awareness and funding for the ongoing research, clinical trials and treatment of pancreatic cancer patients at the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program at the University of Colorado Cancer Center.
The Shul Family
Pancreatic cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, the survival rate for pancreatic cancer - the percentage of patients who are living five years after diagnosis - is just 10 percent. This is because far more people are diagnosed at stage IV when the disease has metastasized. This survival rate has changed little in the last 40 years.
With no early detection tools, effective treatments or adequate funding for research, the rapidly rising threat of pancreatic cancer urgently demands an increase in awareness and research funding.
Founded out of grief, driven by purpose and in pursuit of making a difference, WINGS OF HOPE for PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH is dedicated to
- Accelerating the research
- Providing the most advanced treatments
- Finding the cure
