| Our daughter walks (via her stroller) in honor and memory of her grandma. |

| Our Family ... David, Hildy, Pete, Danielle, Margaret-Ann & Jim. We walk because Hildy lost her battle with this awful disease. Help us find a cure. |

| Jim's grandfather, Academy Award winning animation director, Pete Burness. |
Unfortunately, our family has had a long relationship with pancreatic cancer. Jim's paternal grandfather lost his battle with the disease in 1969, so when his mom was diagnosed in 2005, we immediately knew the consequences. What surprised us the most was how little the science had advanced over the years. But with this disease affecting both sides of my husband's family, we are committed to finding a cure. While there are lots of organizations out there, Lustgarten seems to be making the most significant traction, so each year we help raise funds through the Rich Phillips Memorial walk here in Denver. It's amazing how a few steps can help. Please help us find a cure by walking or volunteering.
