Running for a Cure for Pancreatic Cancer
On March 17, 2024, I will be running in the LA Marathon for the sixth time, and my Sister Lydia Calderon will be supporting me as my biggest fundraiser as part of the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Research Charity Challenge. I expect to log hundreds of miles during the training, and our family is committed to raising at least $3,500.
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 has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers and 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.
