My Dad and me, Summer 2022
Our lives were turned upside down one year ago when we learned my amazing dad, Matt Lygate, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He has been through dozens of chemo treatments, and by the grace of God and the love of our tight-knit family and friends, he is surviving and thriving. We are so grateful for the amazing doctors at Fox Chase and Helen Graham Cancer Centers for their loving and life-saving care.
My sister and I were blessed with such amazing parents. I’m so grateful for my parents unconditional love, support, laughter and life they have always given us. My parents have been married 58 years and are an amazing example of love and marriage at its best. “Nana and Papa” (as they are affectionately called by their five grandchildren) lead faith-filled lives. My Dad loves spending time on the beach and boat in South Bethany, eating ice cream, telling stories, volunteering at church, making us laugh, and, most of all, being there for us always. So, I’ve been thinking about how I could help.
I decided to run my very first half marathon in April and fundraise to help other pancreatic patients thrive. Every dollar you give funds life-changing programs and services for patients and their families. Because of you, patients receive essential services, resources, information, and support when they are urgently seeking help and hope. They need you now more than ever.

Please make a gift of any size to get me one step closer to my fundraising goal and help create a world in which all patients with pancreatic cancer will thrive.
I am grateful for your generous support.
