The 25th Annual LA Cancer Challenge is just around the corner on Sunday, October 23rd and I look forward to commemorating an incredible milestone! After 25 years, I am filled with optimism and most of all, heartfelt appreciation for your support throughout our journey. We couldn’t have come this far without your participation at our walk/run benefiting pancreatic cancer research. Today, I am personally inviting you to register and join us again, near or far. Together, we can find a cure to our patients and loved ones.

LACC fundraising has been a driving force behind every scientific advancement we’ve made, and you will forever have the gratitude of our patients and researchers who have benefited. There is more work to be done, so please rally your loved ones as we walk hand-in-hand on October 23rd! 

With happy tears, I can share with you that we will have five Honorary Starters this year, all survivors who continue to thrive and beat statistics. We are also privileged to have two Honorary Medical Co-Chairs from UCLA: the Vice Chancellor of UCLA Health Sciences, and the President of UCLA Health. As part of this remarkable milestone, we are planning an unforgettable LACC. 

My wish is for all of our past LACC participants over the years to join us and dedicate this race to patients battling this disease. Together, I know we’ll never give up and fight to the finish! 

With gratitude,

Agi Hirshberg
