    Pancreatic cancer definitely needs so much more research. Earlier detection will hopefully become standard someday. I have had several people in my life that I loved and lost to this. Connie and Bob are two of the best and kindest people I have ever had the pleasure to know. Thank you Jill for doing this!

    I'm so proud of you and this endeavor. Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer. Better ways to discover it and then to successfully treat it are desperately needed.

About Jill's Race to End Pancreatic Cancer

Watching our family navigate Bob's diagnosis was heartbreaking—not only because of the disease itself, but because of how difficult it was to find clear, compassionate guidance on treatment options. The uncertainty and lack of information added to an already overwhelming time. Through this run, I’m raising funds to support pancreatic cancer research, improve patient education, and help other families facing this devastating disease find answers, hope, and a path forward. Every mile is dedicated to creating a future with better outcomes for others diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
