When my friend Erin’s Dad Ernie was diagnosed, I tried to be sympathetic and supportive…
When it was my Mother In Law Pam, I felt sad and helpless…
When it was my friend Natalie’s dad Rick, I started to wonder why…
When my friend Dan said his Mom had it, it was time to do something…
Within the course of 18 months, three Fraternity Brothers and I lost a parent to Pancreatic Cancer. That’s from diagnosis to passing away. Pancreatic Cancer is quick. Pancreatic Cancer doesn’t discriminate. Pancreatic Cancer takes your life.
I like to solve problems. I like to work hard. But there’s no amount of hard work or problem solving that will reverse fate. When Dan suggested I run the New York City Marathon with him for Cancer Research, it was a no brainer.
