Welcome to My Personal Page

Thank you for supporting my PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser!

In January 2023, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. She died almost a year later, January 24th, 2024. 

She spent an entire year in immense pain, but she insisted on continuing to teach and work. I hated seeing her suffer, but I am so thankful I was able to spend valuable time with my mom and learn more about her life than I ever could before. 

Every year this event is held right around my birthday and I can’t think of a better way of honoring my mom than helping raise money to fund projects that aim to find a cure for this currently incurable disease. 

I would love if you could donate or join my April 26 for this event. 

Let’s put an end to pancreatic cancer!
