My Personal Fundraising Page

I'm raising money for the Dempsey Center!

Cancer doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed—it changes the lives of everyone who loves them. My grandmother’s battle with breast cancer, losing my Papa to lung cancer, and watching friends and family navigate cancer as patients, survivors, caregivers, and loved ones have shown me just how far its impact reaches.

The Dempsey Center provides comfort, support, and hope during those difficult moments, and that’s why this cause is so close to my heart. Last year, your generosity helped me raise more than $1,200. This year, I’m hoping we can make an even bigger difference together. Thank you for supporting a cause that means so much to me and to so many others.

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.

With a donation made to my page, you can help support thousands of cancer patients, survivors, care partners, and their loved ones. Gifts of any amount will provide no-cost support for years to come.

Thank you for your support!
