I Stride for my Mom, Nancy!
Today I participated in Purple Stride with my two daughters I  memory of my loving mother. Losing her only six short weeks after diagnosis breaks my heart over and over. But being involved in the Pancreatic Cance  Action Network, gives me the hope that one day one less family will feel the pain we feel. My Mom was a ray of sunshine and today the sun was bright on our faces as we continued her fight! I love you Mom!!!

I stride for my dad, Paul. He lived his life by the motto, "make your minutes matter"...and he did.  We love you and miss you dad.  We will NOT give up the fight!

I Stride for all of the survivors - those who have fought, are currently fighting, and will be fighting this horrible disease.

I am surviving, I was diagnosed 9/15/19.  Fortunately my stage 2 tumor was in the head/neck of my pancreas and I underwent Whipple Surgery 10/3/19.  After 7 Folfirinox chemo treatments, my liver was suffering so we stopped chemo.  So far, I've had 2 clear scans.  I pray to be in the very small group of those whose cancer never returns.  And I pray that the 10% five year survival rate grows to 100%.  Thank you PanCAN!

Vicki was diagnosed in June 2019, entered a clinical trial and fought with such heart and bravery.  She died on Jan 1st, 2020 at 63 years young.  I miss her so much.  My friends and I are running a marathon in her honor and to raise funds for PanCan - reading these stories broke my heart but lifted my spirits.  One day we will find a cure.
