I'm walking in memory of my husband, Kevin, and Dad.

My family has been hit hard by pancreatic cancer.  First my husband, Kevin, lost his fight against this horrific monster in 2018 at the young age of 56.  And then, last year, my Dad was diagnosed and passed away while this disease was taking hold of him in his golden years.  I am so grateful and blessed to have known and loved them while I did, but wish I could have had them in my life for many, many more years.

You can help provide hope to thousands of families touched by this devastating disease with your donation to support Lustgarten Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Research.  I am hoping that by raising awareness of Lustgarten's dedication and advancements, their vision of transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease can become a reality.  

Lustgarten Foundation is the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research. Thanks to separate funding of administrative expenses, 100% of my fundraising and your donation will go directly to pancreatic cancer research! 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.
