I'm fundraising for...my beautiful father Jay DeBora

But with your support, Pancreatic Cancer North America will move faster—towards earlier detection, life-saving research breakthroughs, and critical support for patients and families when they need it most.

The greatest man on earth

Sunday 18th Oct
On August 10th 2026, we lost the greatest Dad and Zaida on earth. His family was everything and he fought every day to stay here with us despite unimaginable physical pain from this lethal and cruel disease. The world lost a true angel, a calm, caring, patient, gentle and selfless man. My true hero and the sunshine of my life and that of my husband Shael and my kids Oliver and Theodore. My dad was taken from
us as my third son Maxwell was born into this world. There is no greater pain in knowing they will never physically know each other. The problem with pancreatic cancer is that it cannot be detected early enough to give it a good prognosis or survival rate. This needs to change. Please help me in raising money for the run for survival and early detection research so that other families like mine won’t have to endure the worlds biggest life altering nightmare of losing a loved one to pancreatic cancer. I love you Dad, our lives will never be whole and we miss you with every millisecond of the day 💜
