Welcome to my PanCAN PurpleStride Personal Fundraising Page!

This is personal.

My dad David Lynch, father of 4, family physician, community health champion, and all around amazing human being, was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in December. Since then, our family’s world has been turned upside down. We’ve dived headfirst into navigating the complexities of treatments, genetic testing, and countless medical appointments—all while trying to make sense of the relentless nature of this disease.

Throughout this journey, one thing has stood out: the support from PanCan. This organization is dedicated to funding research, supporting families like ours, and working toward a cure. Their mission to end pancreatic cancer through early diagnosis and clinical trails is something I believe in deeply.

That’s why I will be participating in the PurpleStride fundraiser, joining the Virginia Mason team, to raise money for PanCan and their vital work. Everyone’s donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to making a real difference in the fight against this devastating cancer.

I’m asking for your support. Your donation will not only help fund research but also provide resources for families facing the same challenges we are. Together, we can help move the needle in the fight against pancreatic cancer.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support—whether it’s through a donation, spreading the word, or simply keeping our family in your thoughts. 

And thank you to Virginia Mason, Dr. Picozzi, Dr. Pujari, staff, and all of the other wonderful professionals who have helped us along the way.

I’m grateful for your support!
