My wife Phyllis was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2012. On May 20, 2024 Phyllis succumbed to stage IV kidney cancer more than 12 years after her initial diagnosis. Phyllis was my best friend and my greatest inspiration, and she was a staunch advocate for KidneyCAN during her fight. My son and I are asking you to support the KidneyCAN Steps for Phyllis Memorial fundraiser in her honor, as we walk again this September. Our fundraising team has dedicated walkers each year. Our goal is to walk two million steps – that’s 1000 miles - during September! This year, one generous donor has agreed to match our fundraiser’s contributions, up to $5,000! This fundraiser began in 2022, when I decided to surprise Phyllis by fundraising a large donation to KidneyCAN. In September that year I walked over a million steps (500 miles) with my dog Kita and raised more than $4,500. All proceeds were donated to KidneyCAN and designated for kidney cancer research.. Please help us continue the tradition of honoring Phyllis' fight.
