WEST LAFAYETTE — A Brown County couple has established a challenge fund for the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine to support bladder cancer research.
Evan and Sue Ann Werling of Nashville, Ind., have given $100,000 to start Brandi's Cancer Challenge Fund. The challenge gift is to encourage additional investment from matching gifts. The fund will support work seeking to transform the management of invasive bladder cancer in dogs and humans, said Jeff Spielman, director of advancement for the College of Veterinary Medicine. Successful results from the Purdue Comparative Oncology Program's (PCOP) bladder cancer work also are expected to contribute to advances in other types of cancer treatment.
