Back in December of 2023, we lost my mom, my children's Lola, and your friend, "MB" to the awful sickness of pancreatic cancer. Next month on Saturday, April 27th, my family and I are taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at the PanCAN PurpleStride and I'm hoping you can join us. 

Last year so many of you were able to walk with us and that meant the world to my family and me. I know Mom was watching from above happy to see us all together again, in her honor. 

I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and I need your help to do that!

PanCAN PurpleStride is the number one way PanCAN raises money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients, and gives them free, personalized one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services.

Here’s where you come in. I’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal – because the more money I raise, the bigger impact we make – and would appreciate a gift of any size to help my team get there. For those of you unable to donate, we would still love for you all to join us, and walk alongside us so that when mom is looking down, she sees a sea of purple, fighting for those who are now fighting the same battle she fought. 

PanCAN PurpleStride is for everyone (all ages), and I’d love for you to join me! Just click the Register button at the top of this page and follow a few easy steps to get set up. Anyone who registers and raises $50 will receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2024 T-shirt!

Thank you for your support!
