I'm fundraising in memory of my beautiful mom, Debbie McGinnis
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. Please support my goal as I embrace Lustgarten's vision of transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease. Donate to my page and provide hope to thousands of families touched by this devastating 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.

Saturday 15th AugPlease join us on October 4th, 2026, at Jones Beach, Field 5, to honor Debbie McGinnis who was the greatest mom, grandma, wife and friend that anyone could have asked for.
On June 19th, 2026, my beautiful, kind, loving and amazing mom lost her battle to pancreatic cancer. Through this short fight, my mom never lost hope and remained optimistic that she was going to “beat this monster.” Unfortunately, she was never given the opportunity to show the fight that she had.
If you had the privilege of knowing and loving my mom, then you know that she was the kindest person with an innate ability to love and care for those around her, stranger, friend or animal. Through life and this fierce battle that she faced, she always worried about everyone else around her. In knowing who my mom was and the kind and loving heart that she had, I know that she would never want another family or person to experience the devastating loss that our family went through. My mom would want us to fight to bring awareness for early detection, fight to make this devastating diagnosis curable and give others the chance that she was not able to receive. Please join our team to not only show our support but to celebrate the beautiful person that my mom was.
