Thanks for supporting our PanCAN PurpleStride team fundraiser!

This team was born from love: love for my Mom (my sons' Abui), Edith Lee, and for all the beautiful souls who have fought, are fighting, or have been taken too soon by pancreatic cancer.

This year I also walk in loving memory of my Tía Tayde Lefranc, and my beloved friends RoxAnne Barry and Don Campion, each of them a light who touched the lives of those around them in unique and unforgettable ways. And I walk with hope and faith for Mario, who continues his brave fight and reminds us daily of the strength that love gives us to persevere.

My Mom lived her life with a quiet strength and an open heart. She taught us, in ways big and small, to do all things with love, to show up with kindness, to give with joy, and to carry faith even when the road feels long.

As we walk in their honor, we also walk for all: for the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, and families whose stories deserve to be remembered and whose hope continues to inspire us.

Every stride is a tribute. Every mile is a message. Every donation fuels research, awareness, and support, but above all, it carries love forward.

So join us in spirit, in steps, or in support as we run All Things with Love: For Mami, For All.

Each stride a prayer, every step filled with love. Guided by Love. Because Love gives us the strength to keep going. Because Love carries us farther than grief ever could. All things with Love. 

Because Love is what endures. 

...

We are proud to be taking steps as a team to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN's biggest community event of the year, PanCAN PurpleStride!

PurpleStride is an inspiring event for anyone who has been affected by pancreatic cancer and wants to ensure vital research continues and free resources are made available to all who need them.

To make the biggest difference, we have set an ambitious team fundraising goal and need your help. Will you donate to our fundraiser? You can donate directly to the team (which will not go toward a specific team member's goal) or you can select a team member and donate toward that person's fundraising goal (which will also support the team's goal)!

A gift of any size will provide much-needed hope for a brighter future for the entire pancreatic cancer community.

Want to join us at PurpleStride? Now is the time! Join our team by registering for free (click REGISTER above!) and take steps with us. Everyone who registers and raises or self-donates $100 or more will earn an official PanCAN PurpleStride T-shirt!

Again, thank you for supporting us and everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. We are grateful for you and your support!

Much love, 

Avec
