I created Mikie’s Peeps in memory of my husband, Mike (aka Mikie), who I lost to pancreatic cancer nearly seven years ago. Mike was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer and passed a short 2.5 weeks later. During the time we had, Mike and I talked about how little we knew about pancreatic cancer prior to his diagnosis. He asked me to educate people on the disease in the hopes they wouldn't be surprised like we were.

Shortly after his passing, I became involved with the Sky Foundation, drawn by its relentless commitment to changing the future of pancreatic cancer through awareness, advocacy, and innovative research. What began as a way to channel my grief into something meaningful has grown into an annual tradition of honoring Mikie’s life by fighting the disease that took him far too soon.

Join and support Mikie's Peeps

As for the team name...2 reasons for creating this amazing team. First, Mikie loved the marshmallow Peeps. We always debated on the right way to eat them. I liked them fresh out of the box...he liked to open every box and let them get stale before he ate them. Either way they are Peeps and they are delicious.

Secondly, it's all of you! You are truly Mikie's (and my) peeps - your support means the world!! You can donate or support our team efforts by visiting our Teams page - Mikie's Peeps
