Long Island Walk

I'm fundraising for... Fran, a love and a life taken way too soon! 'FP'

I am participating in Lustgarten's Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research in memory of my pal Fran. 

Over the course of our friendship, I required a lot of attention which prompted Fran to  joke , she would very often say, "It's all about Shari" and it was, for more than 17 years.  I never could have imagined that a day would come when the joke was no longer on me, that happened the day Fran was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer, just over a year ago. 

Together, as in years past,  (I wont be quite as annoying, Frans family can do that now). But I will try to do my part , as Fran always did for me!

Please donate to my page and provide hope to thousands of families touched by this devastating disease.

Join me on this journey in support of research into early detection and new treatments towards a cure for Pancreatic Cancer that took my pal Fran away from all of us. 

Please share this page with any friends you think might be interested in donating, 

Love, Shari

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! 

PS She got me back, Fran always knew how much I hated purple!!!

Such a nice and friendly person. May her memory always be a blessing to her family and friends. Pancreatic cancer took my dear grandpa over 50 years ago- I decided then and there to fight and help by becoming a nurse. May she rest in peace

Fran was a lovely woman very gracious. My daughter Amanda and her son Matt shared the bar and bat mitzvah date together so we spent some time when they were younger. Matt still remains a good friend of Amanda so sorry to hear about Fran. Good luck with your walk.
