As an 8 1/2 year survivor of pancreatic cancer, it is my duty to speak and raise awareness for all those who have lost their battle with this disease.  Think about it..... for every 100 people diagnosed with this disease only 11 will survive 5 years or more!!   Can you imagine those odds?   Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all major cancers, at just 11%. This deadly disease has stolen our best and our brightest, but it can’t take away our determination. 

Our team has stepped up to Wage Hope at PurpleStride, the walk to end pancreatic cancer. Will you help us rewrite the future of this disease by making a donation today?

Every dollar that you donate ensures that the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network can continue working to create better outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients and their families. By donating to our team, you are supporting vital efforts to double pancreatic cancer survival by 2020.  

If you would like to join my our team, please click on the link.  Our walks are all virtual this year, so no matter where you live in the country, or the world for that matter, you can be part of the team!   Our walk will be April 30, 2022.  We actually get to have an "in person" walk this year.  Many of the details are still being worked out, but one thing we do know is, it will be held at Salt River Fields.  Please join the team, raise donations for yourself/Team Cathy or make a donation.    I have a goal of raising $2022 and every dollar helps

Purple ribbons aren’t enough. Please join us in the fight today.
