I'm proud to take steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN's biggest community event of the year, PanCAN PurpleStride!

I stride for my mom, Sue, who lost her life in 2023 to Pancreatic Cancer. She fought and chose every day to live her life with happiness and hope. Her life is an example to me and so many others on not letting our struggles define who we are or want to be. She taught me to be grateful for everything I have and value every moment with those around me. 

I would also like to honor and remember the lives of Edward Downs, Mad Dog Billings, Diana Pecaro, Jerry Varon, and Michael Fligg, beloved family members of those close to me, who lost their lives to pancreatic cancer.

With PanCan Purple Stride, I am looking to raise money to support cancer research and the search for a cure. A gift of any size will provide much-needed hope for a brighter future for the entire pancreatic cancer community.

Again, thank you for supporting me and everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. I'm grateful for you and your support!
