The Bravest Fight of All

Greetings, cherished friends and family,

Life has a way of challenging us with unexpected obstacles, and right now, my husband Simon and I are facing the greatest test of our lives. Just eight weeks ago, Simon was diagnosed with late stage Pancreatic Cancer, thrusting us into a battle against a formidable foe. Guided by the unwavering spirit that has defined our lives, we are determined to conquer this monumental challenge.

Simon was on the brink of a remarkable new chapter in his career when this diagnosis disrupted our plans, impacting us emotionally, physically, and financially. While we are fortunate to have excellent insurance, the standard care options available for Pancreatic Cancer can be somewhat limiting in their effectiveness. In our quest for the best possible outcome, we are exploring new and emerging treatments, therapies, and modalities.

These groundbreaking approaches offer hope, but they come at a significant cost. In our pursuit of victory over this relentless adversary, we find ourselves in need of support from our incredible community—our friends and family who have always stood by us through thick and thin.

Your generosity can make a difference in Simon's fight for life. These innovative treatments and therapies, which hold the promise of a brighter future, often come with a hefty price tag, reaching tens of thousands of dollars. This is not a sum we have readily available, and that's where your support becomes a beacon of hope.

Additionally, our collective effort will support the incredible doctor administering this new treatment to Simon, as we work towards creating a future where victories against cancer are not just personal but contribute to a broader shift in medical paradigms.

Our community has been a source of strength and solace, and we are eternally grateful for your unwavering support, no matter how small. Together, we can turn the tide and provide Simon with the best chance possible to overcome this formidable challenge.

Please join us in this journey of hope, resilience, and triumph over adversity. Your contribution, whether big or small, will make a significant impact on Simon's fight against Pancreatic Cancer. Let's rally together, united in the belief that love and support can conquer even the most daunting obstacles.

Thank you for being a beacon of hope in our lives.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Lesley Paterson
