Thank you for supporting my PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser!

As many of you know, I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer two years ago. Losing her was one of the hardest experiences of my life, and it left me with a deep desire to make sure other families don’t have to go through the same heartbreak. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, and its survival rates have barely improved in decades. The need for research, early detection, and better treatments is critical—and that’s why I’m fundraising for PanCan to support the fight against this devastating disease.

I’ve set a goal to raise $1,000 by the time of PurpleStride on April 26, 2025, a nationwide walk to raise awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research. Here’s how I’m doing it: for every $10 donated, I will walk 1 mile in honor of my mom. This means that if we hit my fundraising goal, I’ll walk 100 miles!

I started this journey by making my first donation and walking 5 miles the day after the second anniversary of my mom’s passing. It was a way to honor her memory and keep fighting for a future where fewer families experience the pain of losing a loved one to this awful disease.

I’m asking you to join me in this fight. Whether it’s by donating, sharing my campaign, or even partnering with me to walk for a cause that means so much, your support will make a difference. Every dollar counts, and together we can help fund the critical research that can one day save lives.

Thank you for your love, support, and for standing with me and my mom’s memory.

Let’s make a difference together.
