Our story…

Dear Friends,

This summer our family was overwhelmed by the news that our mom/Sabta, Miriam Blankstein, had pancreatic cancer. For a woman who had never been sick a day in her life (not even a cold!) this was a surprise for all of us.  Our mom has started chemo and it has been an uphill battle. Although her cancer was found early, the treatment protocol is extremely challenging. 

In November (Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month), we are taking part in a Turkey Trot with others around the globe to raise awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research. With your help, more research and early detection tools can be developed.  There is still much to be learned about this life-altering disease.  We thank you for your support and ongoing love and care.

xo,

The Kotlers, The Bremans, The Blanksteins & The Sisitskys
