Only about 10% of pancreatic cancer cases are familial or hereditary, and my family is one of the unlucky ones. But because of this tragically strong family history of the disease, my father has for nearly 25 years been a subject in long-term research with the goal of developing earlier detection that will save thousands of lives every year. 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 we work to ensure pancreatic cancer becomes a curable disease. Donate to my page and provide hope to thousands of families touched by this devastating disease.

Why Lustgarten? They are the US’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.
