I've joined the LA Cancer Challenge (virtual 5k) in honor of my father, Mikhail, whom I've lost in July 2022 to pancreatic cancer. The disease was relentless and progressed very fast. He suffered a lot, and I wish it didn't have to be this way. My hope that with more research and better care, there will be a way to prevent this and other types of cancers from overtaking our lives or the lives of our loved ones.  

The LA Cancer Challenge (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. Or if you'd like, you can join me, in-person or virtually, remembering those who were lost and celebrating those who are currently battling this disease. Let's make a difference in the battle against pancreatic cancer.
