I'm fundraising for...

Pancreatic cancer research.  

On February 3, 2024, my dad lost his courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. It feels like yesterday, and there hasn't been a day since that I don't think of him. His strength and resilience in the face of such a brutal disease inspire me endlessly.

This year, I'm participating in the Lustgarten Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research on July 13 in Naperville. This walk holds even deeper meaning for me, as it falls just two days before what would have been his 88th birthday. I'm walking to honor his memory, to celebrate the life he lived, and to fight for a future where other families don't have to experience this devastating loss.

Pancreatic cancer is relentlessly aggressive, and the odds are stacked against those diagnosed. My dad fought with everything he had, but ultimately, the disease took him too soon. The only way to change these grim statistics is through groundbreaking research. That's why I'm committed to supporting the Lustgarten Foundation, which directs 100% of every donation directly to pancreatic cancer research. They're pursuing breakthroughs in early detection, new treatments, and ultimately, a cure. 

Your support can make a difference and bring us closer to a world without pancreatic cancer:

* Donate: Please consider making a donation.  Every dollar directly fuels the research that could save lives.

*Share My Story: If you are unable to donate, please share my message with your friends and family. Spreading awareness is crucial to our fight.

By supporting the Lustgarten Foundation, you're not just donating; you're investing in hope, progress, and a brighter future for countless families. You're helping to ensure that other dads, moms, siblings, and friends have a better chance against this formidable disease.

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for helping me honor my dad's memory. Together, we can make a difference.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tara
