as most of you already know, this July
the lustgarten foundation is the premier organization dedicated to fighting pancreatic cancer.
along with my brother and sister and the rest of our family, I am participating in this year’s lustgarten foundation’s walk for a cure in long island on sunday july 26th, 2009.
if you can, please go here– to the sign up/donation page. www.tinyurl.com/

I am loathe to solicit people for this type of thing. but the only way to combat the disease is the raise money for research into finding a cure.
no amount of money is too little to donate and we would be happy for any of you to come walk with us as well.

Hi Jennifer –
Thank you so much for doing this. I donated and my mom also died at 65 from pancreatic cancer. Funds and awareness is so important for us to be able to combat this disease.
No need to be loath, Jennifer. It is one of the worst diseases. You’re honoring your mother while making a difference and giving people an opportunity to do the same.
Hi Jen, I think this is wonderful what you are doing. On the 14th will be 5 months since my mom’s death and I had a really upseting dream last night. In the dream I was trying to call her on the telephone, I had the phone in my hand and did not know what to dial… I woke up sobbing cried the rest of the night and have been crying almost all day. I can’t get tht feeling that I wanted to reach her and did not know how to get her. I have a sunken feeling in my heart today and everything brings me to tears, more so than the day of her funeral or as real. Have you gone through this terrible experiece…

Hi Jennifer. I am a new fan of your show. I lost my mom six years ago to pancreatic cancer at age sixty-four. My sister and I complete the PanCan Walk every summer in her memory. I am willing to do anything possible to bring awareness to this awful disease!
My thoughts will be with you and your family on the 26th.
hi, jenny. we miss bunny! my husband and i would like to walk with you and your fam. How do we do that? we’ll give up a weekend on his dinghy and walk to halt pancreas cancer
Oh Jennifer….. I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Honestly, it seems like it was maybe 3 months ago that I heard the very sad news of your Mom’s death.
This August 2nd will mark one year plus a decade that my Mumi died at age 61 of the same evil disease. And even after all this time I still cannot believe I’ll never see her again.
I share your pain.
Dear Marlene,
My Dad died 15 months ago, it is still so hard,your numb the first year, nothing brings joy just missing them and wanting to talk to them and hear their voice. It does get easier but nothing is the same, love never dies.
Hi Jennifer! I’m so sorry for your loss . . . . .bless you for finding a way to fight cancer. My mom was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer just over a year ago. She’s still with us, and doing okay. I know every day is a gift.
I didn’t know anything about your mom until this post. But now I know that despite your pain, you carried on and made the last few months easier for me by being your funny self on Whatever, Martha! Thank you for your strength and determination to go on!! It inspires me to see someone living life despite the pain of losing their mom. ((((Hugs)))))
I just found out my best friend from high school’s mother died of pancreatic cancer last year, mid 60’s as well. Fuck Cancer and Go Jenn and Team Bunny!
You entertain me every day, and I loved hearing your mom call in. I’m happy to provide something in return for all the laughs. Great idea to solicit!
that’s rigiht: EFF PANCREAS CANCER!
amyrabuf you seem to be the new super fan, now that bipolar christy has left.
My family is doing a Relay for Life team in honor of my uncle who died 2 months ago today of lung cancer (which metasticized and spread to his pancreas which took him). We are thinking of him extra this weekend because he was a decorated Vietnam veteran. It has been a hard time for my aunt; her best friend also died one year ago from pancreatic cancer. I hope we all can raise money to help towards finding a cure.
God bless. Love you Jen! I will donate not a problem. Cancer sucks.
My sister died 5 years ago of pancreatic cancer. She was 57 years old. My mom died 10 years ago from brain cancer. She was 72. I know the same sadness.
hi, john legend fan! to quote alexis: “comments unreated to the blog will not be posted.” in this case they were, but that’s ok. i don’t know who bipoar chirsty is! have a good one, john!
relvng my dogs last days.1styear wth out my baby grl.1styear not havng her on my lap on 4th of july.most humans dontt get my loss.she had cancer. 5 lb cocoa brown poodle. MOLLY !!!!!!!!.cryng now
My mom’s death took place on July 23rd of last year. My grief knows no bounds and my love for her will forever remain with me. She too died of cancer…lymphoma brought on by her med for rheumatoid arthritis. All Cancer needs to be eradicated and lovely people like our moms will be able to live longer lives with those that they love and whom love them. My husband has beaten the odds and is living with Stage Four Squamos Cell Cancer of the head and neck with an unknown primary.
He has been treated extensively with radiation and chemo and he will now be a “survivor” for almost four years. One more year and his prognosis improves dramatically. He is 61 and the love of my life. Cancer has invaded my life and I am fighting along with all of my friends and loved ones as we do what we can to fight this insidious disease. My heart goes out to you, Jen. I know the pain all too well. Hopefully your mom and my mom have met in the “great mom” section of heaven and are free from pain and are happy.
Jenn, are you guys going to unveil her headstone or did you already do that at the time? I am so sorry. I told you already about my father who died at 59. He had AIDS, liver cancer and kidney failure from his liver disease, the same one I hve, hep c. He drank Listerine in the end days. So horrible to watch. I loved him so…
It does get easier, but it always feels like something is missing. All my love, v
My mother died May 12, 2008 of kidney cancer. Unbelievably cruel killer of a wonderful woman who had more than her share of pain in life. Why did God decide to make her suffer in death as well. Is there a God? Don’t think so. As a result of all of this, my only sibling, sister, and I no longer speak. A family is torn apart. I will contribute – we need to eradicate this!!!!
sunday .late. got call. was told over phone.your mserable cause. my 2 losses. by bf
I wanted to tell you that your Mother was absolutely breathtaking in the photo you posted on your donation page. Gorgeous.
Good luck on raising money! You rock!
I don’t need to say any extra YESs to drinks, but I’ll see what I can do otherwise.
I did not realize your Mom was only 65.
My mom died around the same time as yours. I still miss her every day and my daughter never got to met her.
