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

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.

This year, I am running for:

David Bowie, who passed away from Liver Cancer on Jan. 10, 2016.

Kirstie Alley, who passed away from Colon Cancer on Dec. 5, 2022. 

Bea Arthur, who passed away from Lung Cancer on Apr. 25, 2009.

Walt Disney, who passed away from Lung Cancer on Dec. 15, 1966.

Aretha Franklin, who passed away from Pancreatic Caner on Aug. 16,  2018

Olivia Newton-John, who passed away from Breast Cancer on Aug. 8, 2022

Shannen Doherty, who passed away from Breast Cancer on Jul. 13, 2024

Ruth Bader Ginsburg who passed away from Pancreatic Cancer on Sept. 18, 2020

Robert Kardashian, Sr, who passed away from Esophageal Cancer on Sept. 30, 2003.

I’m running not just for myself, but for your family, my family, and for everyone touched by cancer. I run for those currently in treatment, those who have completed their journey, and those we’ve lost along the way. I run for the ones anxiously awaiting test results, for the caregivers standing strong beside their loved ones, and for those struggling to make ends meet while facing this battle.

You are not alone. We are stronger together—and every day, we rise with renewed strength and determination to keep fighting.
