About five years ago, my journey with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) began. I embarked on this path in search of a meaningful way to pay tribute to my dear Mom and Grandpa, both of whom succumbed to the devastating grip of this illness. Today, I proudly serve as the volunteer coordinator for PanCAN's primary fundraising event in Minnesota.
My role revolves around orchestrating an army of volunteers essential to the success of our annual Purple Stride event. Held on the last Saturday of every April, this walk/run is an enjoyable occasion, but it is a bittersweet occasion. Participating in this event gives me a profound sense of purpose, knowing that I am contributing to the fight against this dreadful disease and paying homage to my beloved Mom and Grandpa, who left us too soon due to pancreatic cancer. If you are interested in getting involved or know more about the organization, please feel free to contact me. More information about the organization can be found here https://pancan.org/about-us.
