Team Pezzulo

Team Pezzulo continues to fight for Pancreatic Cancer!

In 2019, I was diagnosed with a rare, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) which was cancerous.  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 6 years.   However, the fight and the need for more research continues.  

I am participating in Lustgarten's Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research to celebrate the progress that has been made and to power tomorrow's research.  We invite you to join our team and walk with us on Sunday, September 28, 2025, 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 $68,000 thanks to your generous contributions! Please support my goal as I embrace Lustgarten's vision of transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease. 

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

Your contribution will help me achieve my goal so that more funding can be allocated for research into early detection and new treatments. Please share this page with any friends you think might be interested in donating, and join me on this journey towards a cure.
