Meet Our Team
Our runners come from all over the country united by one mission—to help pancreatic cancer patients. Each runner has been directly impacted by this disease, losing a parent, grandparent, or close friend. You can help make a difference by supporting a runner so that pancreatic cancer patients can get the information they need to find the best treatment options and inspire hope.
Join us in New York City on November 5th to cheer on our Let’s Win marathon team.
