I’m raising money in support of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network!

Over the last 10 years, I have had the privilege to be a small part of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's mission and from all my years of working closely with this organization, I can tell you that I've never seen a non-profit with a better, more effective strategic plan. This organization chose to take on what many would call an "impossible" mission, but the "purple army" has proven time and time again that they don't know what impossible means. When I first came to this organization, only a handful of survivors were at NATIONAL events for this cause, there were very few scientists, and almost no treatment options. Every person I met who had been impacted by the disease said that the only option they were given was "to go home and get their affairs in order." Today, when someone is diagnosed, if they call the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, not only are they still given high quality and helpful information that the organization has had from the beginning of my tenure - on diet, Survivor & Caregiver Network, etc., but they are given options to molecularly profile their tumor and get personalized treatment options based on the results. Furthermore, the database of information that the organization has built is starting to help scientists understand where the biggest gaps in research exist for bringing new and effective treatment options to the table for patients.

There is still so much to be done, but the direct progress this organization has made is just incredible to witness and I'm so grateful for all the hope and healing this community offers to anyone who has been impacted by the disease.  By making a donation to me, you are directly helping to spread that hope by advancing research and supporting patients through the mission of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Please make a donation today and help me Wage Hope against a deadly disease and reach my fundraising goal!
