I'm participating in the LA Cancer Challenge at UCLA to honor my mom who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer 10 years ago. She died 2 months after being diagnosed. Shortly after my mom died, a close family friend's brother-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (he died just 11 days after being diagnosed).  About a year later my coworker's stepfather was also diagnosed (he lost his battle a year after being diagnosed).     

The LACC helps the Hirshberg Foundation raise money to fund research and programs designed to improve patient care, offer better treatment options and, ultimately find a cure for pancreatic cancer. 

Please consider contributing towards my fundraising efforts today. Or if you'd like, you can join me for a day of costumes and fun, remembering those we have lost and celebrating those who are currently battling this disease. Together we can make a huge difference in the battle against pancreatic cancer.
