Always Thinking About Grandma
In 2010, when I was just 11 years old, my beloved grandmother, Janet Robinson the energetic, trailblazing heart of our family was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, the same disease that killed my great-grandfather.
Grandma Janet underwent chemotherapy treatment, but it was ineffective, and her health deteriorated rapidly. In less than four months following the shocking diagnosis, our healthy, 75-year-old avid tennis player Grandmother passed away, leaving our family to grieve for all the missed holidays, birthdays, milestones she would host.
Following her passing our family has stayed very involved spreading awareness for Pancreatic Cancer and funding research to prevent other families from going through the loss we experienced. We have formed Team Janet at the Lustgarten Foundation’s New York City Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk and participated in the event for several years, raising critical funds for research.
Team Janet stays alive and strong where in 2025 in less than 30 days I will be running the 2025 NYC Marathon! Please consider donating to this amazing cause. Thank you so much.
So proud!
