My mom, Sheryl, was the light of my family’s life. She was exuberant, lively, kind, and beautiful in every way. In honor of her exceptional life, I am raising money for pancreatic cancer research. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most underfunded in all cancer research, yet is also one of the most fatal. Anything you wish to donate is so appreciated! 

On Sheryl's 60th birthday, June 16, 2023, she was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Sheryl passed away only two months later, on August 17, 2023. Upon diagnosis, Sheryl immediately jumped into action to obtain treatment and was fortunate to be seen by the world-renowned pancreatic cancer team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is typically not detected until it is already at a very advanced stage and is incredibly hard to treat effectively. Despite the life-changing news that Sheryl received, she greeted every doctor, nurse, advocate, and person around her with grace and kindness. Her ability to exude empathy, strength, and love on her hardest days was miraculous to witness. She will forever be an angel in so many lives.
