Welcome to my PanCAN PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!

Thank you for supporting my PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser!

I want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by pancreatic cancer, and I need your help to do it.

In December 2023, my mother, Hilda Rodriguez, went to the doctor after a shocking episode where she threw up blood on Thanksgiving. She had been experiencing stomach pain and fatigue, sensing something was wrong. Thankfully, her doctor took her seriously and quickly referred her to a gastroenterologist, who discovered a mass in her pancreas through a CT scan.

My mom kept her diagnosis a secret until we received the biopsy results. On January 8, 2024, our world shattered when we learned she had pancreatic cancer. It felt unreal that someone as loving and wonderful as my mother could face such a devastating diagnosis. When I researched pancreatic cancer, it seemed like a death sentence, and my heart sank at the thought of losing her. But then I realized that no one knows the future but God, and I hold onto my faith in His healing power.

Since then, my mom has bravely undergone 12 rounds of chemotherapy, a distal pancreatectomy, and is currently receiving radiation treatment. We believe in the possibility of healing and have faith that brighter days are ahead. 

I’m participating in the PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 26, 2025, to raise funds for crucial research, personalized patient support, and more.

This is where you come in! I’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal and need your support. Every donation, no matter the size, will help families facing pancreatic cancer.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Join me by registering for PurpleStride! It’s free to register, and if you raise $50, you’ll receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2025 T-shirt!

Together, let’s show everyone affected by pancreatic cancer that we’re standing with them in this fight.

I am deeply grateful for your support!
