Our story…

Let’s be honest - this disease sucks ALOT. It takes everything from you and it’s a scary and unknown journey most of the time. This year, we walk and run with purpose — to honor the life and legacy of our dad, Thomas Hutchinson, who bravely fought pancreatic cancer and passed away in January 2025.


Thomas was the kind of person whose strength, kindness, and quiet determination touched everyone around him. He faced life’s toughest challenge with courage, grace, and love — reminding us every day of what it truly means to be strong.


Our family and friends come together as Team Hutch’s Hope to raise awareness, fund critical research, and support families facing the same battle. Every step we take honors his memory and fuels the fight for a future with better treatments, earlier detection, and — one day — a cure.


We walk for Thomas.

We walk for hope.

We walk for everyone still fighting.


💜 Thank you for supporting Team Hutch’s Hope — your love and generosity keep his spirit alive and moving forward.
