Moke, my husband, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in April 2019. He passed away in mid-August 2019. Words to describe Moke: generous, loyal, witty, quirky, curious, creative, irreverent, resourceful and hopeful. But words cannot express how very much he is missed. 

Pancreatic cancer is often called the 'silent killer' - as with Moke, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. It is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in America within a decade. Pancreatic cancer does not stop or slow down, and neither do we!

I’m participating in PanCAN’s PurpleStride, a year-round national movement that funds lifechanging programs and services for pancreatic cancer patients and their families. Many of you participated in PurpleStride last year and I'm eternally grateful to you, and asking you to join me this year.

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 (even $10 makes a difference) to get me one step closer to my fundraising goal and improving more patients’ lives. 

Patients and families need us now more than ever. Give in Moke's memory. Give hope.

Thank you for your support.
