I’m Raising Funds for the Dempsey Center — In Loving Memory of My Grandmother

Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page for this year’s Dempsey Challenge.

This year, I’m participating in honor of my beloved grandmother, PushpaBa, who we lost in February to colon cancer.

She was not only my best friend but also my greatest teacher. Even in the face of illness, she lived each day with unwavering strength, quiet grace, and boundless love. Her resilience and spirit continue to inspire me, and I carry her memory into every step of this challenge.

The Dempsey Challenge supports the Dempsey Center, a nonprofit founded by Patrick Dempsey. The Center provides comprehensive, free services to individuals and families impacted by cancer — offering emotional, physical, and practical support at every stage of their journey.

Your contribution helps ensure that others facing cancer receive the compassionate care they deserve. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful impact.

Thank you for helping me honor PushpaBa’s legacy and support the extraordinary work of the Dempsey Center.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Zalak
