I'm participating in the LA Cancer Challenge in honor of my dear friend *Esther Lee* who has been kicking cancer to the curb for the past year. 

From parking lots near Western Washington University to International Broadcast Centers at the Olympics to random cities across the world in between, Esther has been a deeply honest, loving and faithful friend to me. Watching her fight this battle has shown me a new side of grace and grit and I want to fight alongside her for a cure. 

The global pandemic has advanced medicine in ways we could not fathom just two years ago. We can do this for cancer research as well. 

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, in-person or virtually, for a day of costumes and fun, remembering those we have lost and celebrating those who are currently battling this disease. Together, regardless of where we are, we can make a huge difference in the battle against pancreatic cancer.
