Our story…

It has been a year since I was diagnosed with stage 2b Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma with a golf ball sized tumor at the head of my pancreas. I began chemotherapy in early July 2024 and completed 9 rounds, followed by 5 rounds of intensive radiation therapy, and chemo pills. Finally on Jan.23 I received the incredible news that I was eligible for mini whipple surgery (the only cure) on Feb 26, 2025. Surgery was successful with full removal of the tumor and 23 lymph nodes that all came back with zero evidence of disease. It was truly a miraculous outcome and I could not have done it with out the most incredible support team of family, friends, and world class doctors. The love and prayers and support my family and I received this year was profound! And now I will continue to dedicate my life to fight this nightmare of a disease that has taken so much from so many beautiful people and their families, and still has no screening test. Only 13% of those diagnosed live beyond 5 years, and those with stage 4 have a 1% survival rate. That is unacceptable and Pancreatic Cancer funding is on the chopping block! Now more than ever we need to raise funds and raise awareness. For my birthday this year, and in celebration of being in remission just one year from diagnosis, please consider making a donation and taking a lovely 2 mile walk/run over July 4th weekend. Lets Kick this fundraiser in the PancreASS!!! Much love to all of you who donate!
