Team Pezzulo!
As many of you are aware, I was diagnosed with a rare, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) which was cancerous in 2019. I underwent chemotherapy treatment and a successful Whipple Surgery. Thanks to AMAZING medical care at Mass General Hospital, along with faith, exercise and the love, support and prayers of family and friends, we kicked my cancer's butt! I have now been cancer free for almost 5 years. However, the fight and the need for more research continues.
I invite you to join our team and walk with us on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at the Lustgarten Foundation Boston Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk to increase awareness, celebrate the progress we have made in fighting cancer and the hope we have for the future! If you are unable to walk, please consider making a donation to support Team Pezzulo. Since 2019, Team Pezzulo has raised over $58,000 thanks to your generous contributions!
What: Boston Lustgarten Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Research 3-mile Walk
Where: Carson Beach, South Boston, MA (Department of Conservation and Recreation – DCR Mother’s Rest)
When: Sunday, October 13, 2024
Time: Check-In 8:30 A.M. Walk Begins at 9:30 A.M.
We have joined forces with the Lustgarten Foundation, the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research. Thanks to separate funding to support administrative expenses, 100% of your donation goes directly to pancreatic cancer research. With your support, we will raise money for research advancements to improve patient outcomes. By joining our fight, you are making a difference for thousands of pancreatic cancer patients!
If you would like to join the walk or donate, please visit the website below. In order to join the walk, you need to hit “register.” NOTE: Please be sure to sign up or donate on Team Pezzulo’s page.
