My Story…
In March 2026, my husband, Jamie, was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Just five months later, on August 20, we lost him. He was only 52. Jamie was my husband of nearly 27 years, a devoted father to Taylor, Avery, and Trevor, and the person I thought I would grow old with. He faced this horrible disease with strength and determination, enduring treatments and hospital stays while we held on to hope. Pancreatic cancer took our children’s dad, my partner, and the future we had planned together. I’m participating in the Project Purple Turkey Trot in Jamie’s memory to raise money and awareness for families facing this devastating disease. Please consider donating in his honor. Together, we can help bring hope for better treatments and more time with the people we love. Thank you for helping me honor Jamie and carry his love forward. With love and gratitude, Kelly
