Hi friends and family,

My pup Luna and I are walking 31 miles to support the American Cancer Society in their fight for a world without cancer.

This walk is deeply personal. It’s dedicated to some very special people who are no longer here but are loved beyond words — Luis Garcia, Marjune Bagadiong, Andrew Bishop, Elaine Tuzinski, Dolores I. Sanchez and my three Tias: Meña, Margarita, and Maria. Their memories stay with me every single day.

When Luna and I are out walking, I especially think of Marjune. He loved walking with his pup, Mouse. On the longer miles, I imagine them beside us, and it reminds me why this matters so much.

The American Cancer Society is a trusted organization, holding top ratings from Charity Navigator, the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, and Candid. Your support goes toward research, patient services, advocacy, and hope for families who need it most.

If you feel moved to give, any amount truly makes a difference. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this message means just as much.

Thank you for walking alongside us in spirit, for remembering these beautiful souls, and for helping move us closer to a world without cancer.
