Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all major cancers, at just 9%. However there has been over a 100% increase in the survival rate in the last 5 years.  Our father was diagnosed with this horrific disease in Oct. 2017.  He was strong and determined to not only battle this disease but beat this disease! Unfortunately he only had the opportunity to participate in the the 2018 Purple Stride walk.  He remained strong for 16 months.  In Jan 2019, he developed a bowel obstruction as a result of the metastatic disease.  This complication eventually caused him to earn his angel wings Feb. 13th 2019.  During his last days on earth we, his family, vowed to not let his fight die with him.
