Welcome to my PanCAN PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!

22 years ago, I was diagnosed with and treated for pancreatic cancer. I feel incredibly blessed that I’ve lived cancer free since then. Most people aren’t this lucky. While there have been incredible medical advances in these two decades, the general 5-year survival rate for people with pancreatic cancer in the United States is still only 11%.  I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and I need your help to do that!

I’m joining others to end pancreatic cancer by walking at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 27, 2024. PanCAN raises money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients and gives them free, personalized one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services.

Here’s where you come in! I will appreciate any support you would give to support this vital organization. 

Can I count on you to get us one step closer to the day where pancreatic cancer patients don’t just survive but thrive?

Patients and families need us now more than ever.

Thank you for your support!
