On November 23, 2019, pancreatic cancer stole my father from his family. John Donne was not only a wonderful father, he was also a beloved grandfather, husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend.

Pancreatic cancer is an insidious disease, and the deadliest major cancer with a five-year survival rate of only 12%. My Dad lived three years following his diagnosis, making us one of the luckier families.

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. 

Please walk with me or make a gift of any size to get me one step closer to my fundraising goal. Let's help future families have more time with their Dads than I did with mine.

Thank you for your support.

P.S. For anyone wondering about the team name, Robin Hood: Men in Tights was one of John's favorite movies - I think Liz and I have seen it 600 times.
