RUNNING FOR RESEARCH

On Sunday, November 1, I’ll be running the TCS New York City Marathon—and dedicating all 26.2 miles to a cause that means a great deal to me: advancing pancreatic cancer research.

This is about so much more than running a marathon. It’s about honoring those who have fought this disease, supporting the families affected by this devastating disease, and helping fund the research that can change what a pancreatic cancer diagnosis means for future patients.

Please help me support pancreatic cancer research by making a donation to the Lustgarten Foundation. Your contribution will help me achieve my goal and drive bold, innovative research with the singular mission of transforming pancreatic cancer into a curable disease.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat. Progress has historically been slow, and patients and their families desperately need better treatment options and more time together. But there is real reason for hope and progress is being made. 

There is still so much work to do, but  every advance brings the possibility of more time, more birthdays, more family milestones, more runs, more parents cheering on their loved ones running, and more tomorrows.

FIGHT CANCER! STAY POSITIVE!
