I'll be participating in the 2026 LA Cancer Challenge (LACC) 5K Walk/Run! This will be the 15th time for team "Ohana Means Family" since we lost my mom, Kiyoko "Kay" Shimizu to Pancreatic Cancer in 2012.
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. YOU CAN HOPE or YOU CAN HELP find a cure for pancreatic cancer! Or if you'd like, and we would really like, for you to JOIN Team "OHANA MEANS FAMILY" on Sunday, October 25, 2026 remembering those we have lost and celebrating those who are currently battling this disease. Together we can make a huge difference in the battle against pancreatic cancer. Mahalo & Aloha, Patti
