I am reaching out to invite you to be part of something truly special. On April 25, 2026, we will be participating in the Purple Stride walk in Washington D.C., an event dedicated to raising awareness and funds to combat pancreatic cancer.

As many of you know, this cause is very personal to me. I walk in honor of my mom, who fought bravely but lost her battle to this devastating disease. Sadly, too many people share this painful experience, missing the love and presence of those who have been taken from us way too soon. We can’t change the past, but together we can make a difference for the future.

By joining our team, Heart and Sole, you will be contributing to crucial research and support for those affected by pancreatic cancer. Your participation and generosity can lead to earlier detection, better treatments, and ultimately, save lives so others may get more time with those they love.

Here’s why your involvement is so important:

1. Awareness Saves Lives: Increased awareness leads to earlier detection. Early-stage pancreatic cancer often has more treatment options and better outcomes.
2. Funding Research: Donations fuel innovative research that is critical to finding a cure. With more funding, researchers can explore new treatments and possibly develop a cure.
3. Support Network: By joining us, you stand in solidarity with those affected by pancreatic cancer, showing them that they are not alone in their fight.

Please consider joining the Heart and Sole team and making a donation, no matter the size. Every step we take brings us closer to a world where no one has to say goodbye too soon.

To join or donate, visit our Purple Stride team page. Your participation would mean the world to me and to all those whose lives have been touched by pancreatic cancer.
