Welcome to my PanCAN PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!

Thank you for supporting my PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser!

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

I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer May 2023 and have been undergoing chemotherapy for a year. I am still alive thanks to previous research programs and the great care I have had at Virginia Mason in Seattle. I am walking also to honor loved ones who did not survive pancreatic cancer, my father Marvin Smith and my friend Laura Gregg and in support of friends Meredith Hale and Doug Brown who lost family to this cancer.

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

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.

Here’s where you come in! I’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal and need your donations! A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Want to help in a bigger way? Join me by registering for PurpleStride! Register for free, raise $50 and you’ll receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2025 T-shirt!

Let’s show everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer that we’re fighting for them.

I’m grateful for your support!
