Welcome to My 5K PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!

Pancreatic cancer does not stop or slow down, and neither do we!

I’m going to help make progress, with your support, in honor of Santa Steve Van Hale, who passed away from pancreatic cancer on October 3rd 2021 & our friend, Santa Bill DeMarco, who passed away from a form of pancreatic cancer on May 21, 2023. 

My team & I are participating in PanCAN’s PurpleStride, a year-round national movement that funds lifechanging programs and services for pancreatic cancer patients and their families. PurpleStride is Saturday, April 26, 2025 at Como Regional Park in Saint Paul. 

Every dollar you give means more patients can benefit from PanCAN’s free, one-on-one support, personalized information, services and resources that can make a real difference in their lives, as well as help pancreatic cancer research to help eradicate this disease.  Patients and families need us now more than ever.

Please make a gift of any size to get my team one step closer to our fundraising goal and improving more patients’ lives. 

Please also considering joining my team & raising money.

You all know that when it comes to a good cause, I'm not afraid to ask, or even beg, for donations. 

Thank you for your support.
