Long Island Walk

We're fundraising for...

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. I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in January 2024 after having the Whipple Procedure to remove a suspicious tumor.  A biopsy confirmed it was indeed cancer and it had spread to one lymph node.  I went through aggressive chemotherapy and right now I am thank gd cancer free.  I was very lucky to be diagnosed early on through a routine blood test, with no symptoms at all.  (I am trying to advise anyone I can to stay on top of your health and have all testing you are due for!)  The tumor was in the ampular which made it easier to find.  I thank gd for my amazing surgeon as well as my unbelievable support system.  I could not go through this journey without all of you!  Please  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.
