Last year, when my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, my family was devastated by the diagnosis. We banded together to support one another and worked as one to help care for my dad. After a brief but spectacular fight, we lost our father but strengthened our love for each other. My father’s love lives on in all of us and in the choices we make. That is why I am committed to supporting pancreatic cancer research. Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, or PanCan, is an organization that supports research to fight pancreatic cancer. By advocating for this organization, I hope to one day spare another family from the terrible experience this cancer brought to mine. Financially supporting this organization by participating in PurpleStride means that we have the chance to potentially develop better treatments and improve early detection methods. Any support you can provide will help me continue to keep my father’s love alive.

I’m going to help make progress, with your support.

I’m participating in PanCAN’s PurpleStride, a year-round national movement that funds life-changing programs and services for pancreatic cancer patients and their families.

Every dollar you give means more patients can benefit from PanCAN’s free, one-on-one support, personalized information, service, and resources that can make a real difference in their lives. 

Please make a gift of any size to get me one step closer to my fundraising goal and improve more patients’ lives. 

Patients and families need us now more than ever.

Thank you for your support!
