This year we are raising money in honor of a man who raised us.

Jerry passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2019. He was a veteran, a wildlife firefighter, a dad to 7 kids, a grandpa to many, and a man who somehow seemed to have a million friends everywhere he went. He lived loud, happy, and full, and when he got sick, he fought hard. For an entire year, he never stopped choosing life, joy, humor, and strength.

All of our lives changed immensely when he passed. Some of us were his kids, some were his friends, some were family, and some were part of the huge community he built around him. His impact touched so many people, and now we want to carry that forward.

Pancreatic cancer is aggressive, underfunded, and steals too many people too quickly. We want to raise money in his name to help change that. By supporting research, early detection, better treatment options, and to give other families more time.

Every donation, big or small, helps. Every share helps. Every person who reads his name helps keep him alive in this world.

Thank you for helping honor Jerry's legacy, and for helping us move toward a future where pancreatic cancer doesn't get to take so many incredible people so soon.
