GiGi’s Legacy

Staten Island Walk

We walk for Concetta Garuccio

Our team, GiGi’s Legacy, walks in loving memory of our grandmother, Concetta Garuccio.


Concetta was the heart of our family. She was selfless, compassionate, and loved with her whole heart, never expecting anything in return. She made everyone around her feel seen, supported, and deeply loved. Her kindness and strength continue to inspire us every day, and we carry her legacy with us in everything we do. 

And in true GiGi fashion, even chemo appointments were treated like an event… 

She would put on her makeup, her high heels, and show up looking better than the rest of us on a good day. 


Pancreatic cancer took her from us far too soon, but it will never take away the love she gave or the impact she had on our lives. 

We walk not only to honor her memory, but to help create a future where other families don’t have to experience the same heartbreaking loss.


This year, we’re proud to participate in the Lustgarten Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Every step we take and every dollar we raise helps fund groundbreaking research aimed at transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease.


Why Lustgarten? 

They are the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, and thanks to separate funding for administrative expenses, 100% of every donation goes directly toward pancreatic cancer research. Your generosity is helping fuel discoveries that bring hope to thousands of families.


Whether you choose to walk alongside us, make a donation, or simply share our page, your support means the world to our family. 


Together, we can honor Concetta’s legacy, remember those we’ve lost, support those still fighting, and move one step closer to a cure.


Thank you for helping us keep GiGi’s Legacy alive.
