Thank you for supporting my PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser!

I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of people and families plagued with pancreatic cancer.

Hi family & friends.

It’s that time of year again - where we are reminded of the ginormous weight that cancer has on a person, a family, and the world As many of you know, pancreatic cancer has greatly affected my life, and my husband’s life.

My dad and I have a rare gene mutation that expresses both melanoma and pancreatic cancer. My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in 2012 and now gets annual scopes done to make sure the cancer has not come back. The chances of me developing pancreatic cancer are significantly higher with this gene mutation, and at age 35 I will also begin annual scopes to check on my pancreas. 

In 2020, Nathan’s amazing father passed away from pancreatic cancer, after only being diagnosed less than a year prior. We missed him greatly at our wedding in 2023, and continue to miss him every day.

Pancreatic cancer has completely changed my life, my husband’s life, and our families’ lives. We will continue to fight it and raise awareness. I hope that by raising awareness and donations, that if I am ever diagnosed with pancreatic cancer I have options and a fighting chance, as well as any of my family or friends. 

Please consider donating, every single donation makes a difference. You can choose my name “Delaney Finneran” when adding a donation. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thank you all for your support 

I’m taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

PurpleStride participants raise money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients; free, personalized, one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services; and more.

Every donation counts. Thank you SO much for your support!
