Thank you for taking time to consider donating.

For My Sister Ann (Drish) Graham, who died from pancreatic cancer, April 14, 1962 - September 11, 2020.

Miss you Every Day. 


 And for my Aunt, Judy (Himes) Hartwich, who also died from pancreatic cancer,  April 11, 1944 - October 25, 2007.


Pancreatic Cancer is not as common as some cancers (only 3% of all cancers in US) but it is one of the most devastating (7% of cancer deaths).  The number of deaths is estimated to be 51,000 this year (and 64,000 diagnosed).   But when it is diagnosed, it is fast and deadly.  While it is not as common as other cancers, most people know a friend or family member who once diagnosed, did not survive long.


I’ve stepped up to Wage Hope at PurpleStride, the walk to end pancreatic cancer. Will you help me rewrite the future of this disease by making a donation today?

Every dollar that you give ensures that the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network can continue working to improve outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients.

Purple ribbons aren’t enough. Please join me in the fight today.
