Welcome to my PanCAN PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!

Hey there,

I’m taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 29, 2023 and would love to see you there.  

October 2021 I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.  Chemo started shortly afterward.  July 2022 I had Whipple surgery and as of this date I'm still recovering from it. The good news according to my Oncologist and Surgeon is that I'm in remission. YEAH!

Today the rate of survival is still low, but through funding for research, the development of more effective chemo treatments, and better early detection and awareness, the survival rate has increased to 11%. 

That's not enough!  We can do better! With your support, we can mitigate the third most deadly cancer and give hope to others!  

Please join me Saturday, April 29, 2023, and join the fight!

Click on the link to donate and or register. Any amount of donations are greatly appreciated.

Additionally, 

I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and I need your help to do that!

PanCAN PurpleStride is the number one way 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’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal – because the more money I raise, the bigger impact we make – and would appreciate a gift of any size to help me get there. 

PanCAN PurpleStride is for everyone, and I’d love for you to join me! Just click the Register button at the top of this page and follow a few easy steps to get set up. And anyone who registers and raises $50 will receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2023 T-shirt!

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!
