Subject: Join me in the fight against pancreatic cancer!
A while ago I sent you an email telling you about my involvement with PurpleStride, the walk to end pancreatic cancer. In 2016, this horrible disease surpassed breast cancer to become the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S.
