For my Birthday this year February 3, asking for donations to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network!

Thank you for supporting my PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser for my birthday February 3rd..My 54th trip around the Sun ♒

I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients  who constantly battle just to survive. September 4,2024 I had Total Pancreatectomy after 39 years of Prss1 Hereditary Pancreatitis and  2 Positive Pancreatic Cancer Genes and lesion on head of pancreas and one lodged in pancreatic duct. Total Pancreatectomy,Removal of Duodenum,Spleen and rerouting veins and arteries, was my only hope to beat cancer and to help me live longer. I can’t thank Dr P and the staff at Ingram Cancer Center/Vanderbilt Medical Center for their excellent care and support. I’m  walking for those we’ve lost and those still fighting. I’m a Survivor and my mottos are Never Give Up and Faith Over Fear!

I’m taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 25,2026

PurpleStride participants raise money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients; free, personalized, one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services; and more.

A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Let’s show everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer that we’re fighting for them.We all just want to be a survivor and kick cancer to the curb.

I’m grateful for your support ,it takes a village. I’m living proof that early testing saves lives ,I’ve had early testing the past 30 plus years. Thank you Pan Can for fighting for us! I’m a survivor
