Walking Warriors

We're fundraising for Beth!!!

Hello Friends...My family and I have been deeply impacted by pancreatic cancer, and unfortunately, we’re not alone. That’s why I’ve joined forces with the Lustgarten Foundation, the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research. Thanks to separate funding to support administrative expenses, 100% of your donation goes directly to pancreatic cancer research. With your support, we will raise more money for research advancements than we ever could alone. By joining our fight, you are making a difference for thousands of pancreatic cancer patients!

My wife, Beth, passed on from pancreatic cancer in November 2019. She was diagnosed only a couple of days after giving birth to our beautiful daughter Ella, who is thriving and continues to be our light.

Even though we knew the odds were stacked against Beth, we never gave up hope and neither did she. She was the strongest, healthiest, fittest, and most spiritual person I’ve ever met. If anyone had a chance to beat this terrible disease, it would be her. Beth always wanted to be the outlier when it came to beating the odds since the chances of her getting the disease were so slim in the first place. Unfortunately, she had many setbacks along the way, which complicated matters, and only made her prognosis more dire. She said, until the end, that if she only had to deal with the cancer, then there is no doubt in her mind she would have beaten it.

I am so proud of Beth for how she handled her journey with such strength, dignity, and grace.  She is truly an inspiration and I am honored to have been a part of her life. Beth was fearless and it was never revealed more than over the course of her 11 month journey.

We are so grateful for your generosity and support.  It means the world to our family that we are able to do this in Beth’s honor.

Thank you.  Be well and stay safe!

Love,

Ella + Jon
