EC Awareness in Memory of Chuck Brinkman

Help me spread the word! I'm raising money to benefit the Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation (ECEF) in honor of my uncle, Chuck Brinkman. Any donation will help make an impact! Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me and the Brinkman family.

Chuck Brinkman passed away from esophageal cancer (EC) in 2017 and I'm honored to have the opportunity to raise awareness of EC through him. EC is one of the fastest growing cancers, so early detection plays a huge role in treatment. ECEF informs people on symptoms of EC, provides patients with post-surgical guides, and offers support groups to families involved with this disease. I believe supporting this cause will aid future EC patients and families throughout their journeys.

I will be racing Oceanside 70.3 Half-Ironman on October 30th in his honor, and hope to reach my fundraising goal by then. The periwinkle ribbon will be on full display!
