Running for a Cure for Pancreatic Cancer
On March 19, 2023, I will be running in the LA Marathon for the fifth time as part of the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Research's Team – the Hirshberg Training Team. We expect to log nearly hundreds of miles, and I've committed to raising at least $3,000.
The statistics are grim, but they are changing for the better, and that is because of your continued help and support. The 5-year survival rate continues on an upward trajectory and is now at 12%, marking the first time since 2017 the rate has increased for two consecutive years. This is a move in the right direction.
Pancreatic cancer is still the #3 cancer killer in the United States amongst both men and women. The average life expectancy after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is just 3-6 months. This cancer hits close to home for many of us, and I would greatly appreciate your kind consideration by donating towards my goal this year.

I will be running in honor of my dear old dad, Antonio Ontiveros, my loving and laughing brother-in-law Dan Calderon and a dear friend Mr. Claude Kamar.
