Welcome to my PanCAN PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!

Thank you for supporting my PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser!

Many of you are aware I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer late summer.  My specialist in Toledo scheduled me for a whipple procedure to remove the tumor. Meanwhile, a dear friend sent me information on Dr Dillhoff at the James Cancer Center in Columbus. She is on the cutting edge of robotic pancreatic cancer surgery. I was able to get an appointment the day before my scheduled surgery. I heard news I had never expected. Yes, I had cancer, but it was a rare slow growing tumor and was not aggressive. She was able to remove the neuroendocrine tumor robotically and with a non invasive surgery. It was a long surgery, but I had a fairly easy recovery- a far cry from a Whipple procedure. I will have scans in the future, but my prognosis is excellent, I will be fine. However, as stated earlier, my type of pancreatic cancer is rare. The vast majority of pancreatic cancers are aggressive, with only a 13% survival rate for 5 years. So I am walking not for me, but for all the others that are not as lucky. I would LOVE to have you join my team and walk with me, but if not, please consider a donation. 

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

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.

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!
