Waitkus Strong

Dear Friends & Family,

For those we haven’t yet had the chance to connect with personally, we want to share that Dan has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His spirits remain high, and true to who he is, Dan is facing this challenge with remarkable strength and unwavering determination.

As you can imagine, this will be a deeply difficult time for Dan, Debbie, and their entire family. Dan has always been a steady source of strength, humility, and leadership in our community—and now it's our turn to stand beside him and Deb with that same love and commitment.

We will continue to share updates and keep Dan’s support community informed about meaningful ways to help and uplift him and his family throughout this journey. Your prayers, kindness, and encouragement mean more now than ever.

With love and gratitude,
