Deenas Darlings

2024 New York City Walk

We're fundraising for...

For the greatest woman I've ever known and loved - an incredible mom, sister, aunt, daughter, friend and above all else - larger than life beautiful soul, our Deena Darling. 


Our team is participating in Lustgarten's Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research to celebrate the progress that has been made and to power tomorrow's research. Support our team and embrace Lustgarten's vision of transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease. Join our team, donate to our team, provide hope to thousands of families touched by this devastating disease.

Why Lustgarten? They are the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research. Thanks to separate funding of administrative expenses, 100% of our fundraising and your donation funds pancreatic cancer research - research led by Lustgarten and powered by you! With your support, we will raise more money for research advancements than we ever could alone.

Jessieeee I am SooOo proud of you and the work you continue to do to honor your mom everyday. I know she is looking down on you smiling, proud that her baby girl continues to make such a positive impact in the world. l never had the pleasure of meeting Deena but I see so much of her in you. Not only do you resemble her so much, but Im sure that the kindness and positivity you spread, mirrors the way she might lift up those around her. Even small things like passing out her favorite jelly donut snacks at the bar. Thinking of your family this week. Deenas lives & loves through you Love you xx
