Welcome to my PanCAN PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!


I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and I need you to do it!

Hello, I'm writing a bit about my journey with God and my pancpancreatic cancer. I was diagnosed in November of 2023, the day after Thanksgiving. It came as a bit of a shock, but I'm following the plan that God has for me. My Mom always told be God has a plan for me and He does. Anyway, for the past 2 years I've been recreceiving Chemotherapy at NYP Columbia University Hospital under the guidance of my oncologist, Dr. Manji. I also take a holistic approach using many natural supplements that are healthy and supposedly will combat my cancer.

I have been very blessed, my only real issue is diarrhea. I've also been blessed with the most supportive husband Rob. He is my rock. 

Also all of you, my prayer warriors, without your bombarding heaven with your prayers and concerns, I don't know where I'd be. 

So, that's my story. Thank you all. I love each and everyone of you. 

God bless and please keep praying. 

PS: pray for Rob too, he's doing so much, I know he gets tired and frustrated. He's also very ememotional and worried about our future.



With your support, I’m taking bold action to improve the lives of everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer.

 

Every dollar you give funds life-changing programs and services for patients and their families. Because of you, patients and families receive essential services, resources, information, and support when they are urgently seeking help and hope. They need you now more than ever.

 

Please make a gift of any size to get me one step closer to my fundraising goal and help PanCAN create a world in which all patients with pancreatic cancer will thrive.

 

Patients and families need us now more than ever.

 

I am grateful for your generous support.
