Help Susan raise money

For participating in Purple Paddy's 5k/Walk

My Story…

In April 2021, my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was Stage 1B. Over the next 9 months he endured chemotherapy, the Whipple surgery, and more chemotherapy. By early 2022, there was no evidence of disease. My dad continues to receive scans every 3 months to monitor his health.

Only 1 in 5 people diagnosed with PC are ever eligible for the Whipple surgery. More than 64,000 people are diagnosed with PC each year. A whopping 85% are diagnosed at Stage IV. The five year survival rate is just 12%, a one percent increase over 2022.

While I wish pancreatic cancer didn't exist and that no one or their families had to face this terrible disease, I am proud to be making a positive impact through raising awareness and funds for Project Purple.

Project Purple and its mission are near and dear to my heart. They not only support critical research for early detection, more effective treatments, and a cure, but they also provide patient support through care packages and financial aid. 

Please consider joining me for this virtual event to run, walk or hike 3 miles. Do it all at once or split it up over the weekend. You can also support my fundraising efforts with a gift. All proceeds benefit the quest for early detection, better treatment options, and a cure.

Your support means the world to me and my family and makes a difference! Thank you!
