Naperville Walk

I'm fundraising for...the memory of Patty Brandmaier and Brett Davis, both taken too soon by this horrible disease.

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.

Patty recommended me for and mentored me for one of my most powerful work experiences. It paved the way for my final positions at the Agency and allowed me to have even greater impact. I carry her enthusiasm and her mentoring generosity with me as I work with learners and clients no.

In memory of Patty Brandmaier, who as a friend and a leader would always cheer on her colleagues. I'll always remember her spirit and grace.

Good luck on this - great cause. I worked with Brett some years ago. He’s gone too soon. Also believe Les Dreiling succumbed to this terrible disease.

It is startling how much embryogensis is mirrored by the morphogenesis of cancer. Medicine makes great progress. Thank you for raising funds for this cause.

Hi Didi, this small donation is the least I can do to support your efforts and honor Patty's memory. I didn't know of her passing until I saw your post on LI. :( She was a friend and mentor to me when I started there. Thank you for doing this!
