2026 Dempsey Challenge ○ Crushing Cancer ○ Run/Walk

Amy Van Paepeghem

The Dempsey Center provides free support to individuals and families impacted by cancer, offering services such as counseling, wellness programs, and education. We are dedicated to helping people through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donors like you to continue our important work. Your donation can help us expand our services and reach even more people in need.

Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page for this year's Dempsey Challenge!

I walk to honor my Uncle, Jim Stone, who lost his courageous battle to cancer in May 2025. Our family has seen first hand the work that the Center does to support not only the person carrying the diagnosis, but also those supporting them.

The Dempsey Challenge is the premiere fundraising event for the Dempsey Center, a nonprofit founded by actor Patrick Dempsey. The Dempsey Center makes life better for people impacted by cancer by easing the side effects of cancer by improving their physical, emotional, social, familial, and functional well-being at any point in their cancer journey--all at no cost.

Donations of ANY size will leave a lasting impact. Please consider donating today.

Thank you for your support!
