With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our resilient Rita Jaisinghani. She was the beloved daughter of Kishinchand and Padmini, dear sister to Geeta, Bina, and Pradeep, wife to Kumar, and mother to Pooja and Deepak. Her strength and fierce battle with appendix cancer will be admired for eternity. She will be missed dearly and her legacy will live on forever.
In honor of Rita’s memory, we are setting up this page to support the ACPMP Research Foundation, an organization dedicated to funding research for a cure for appendix cancer and providing education around it. Rita faced her battle with incredible strength, and we hope to carry forward that resilience by supporting ACPMP’s mission. Your contributions will help advance critical research and raise awareness for this rare cancer. Thank you for your kindness and support during this time.
