It’s been 17 years since my mom died from pancreatic cancer. That’s 16 years of birthdays, holidays, and everyday moments she should’ve been here for. I miss her smile, her warmth, and her calm strength—every single day. 

Cancer didn’t just take her—it stole the years she deserved, and the moments we all needed her for.

Polly’s Run is a fight back. It’s a 5K Run/Walk and Kids’ K that honors my mom, Polly Rogers, and everyone we’ve lost to pancreatic cancer. It’s also a day of hope—celebrating survivors and fueling the fight for better treatments, earlier detection, and real change.

When my mom was diagnosed, she said, “I’m not ready.” And we weren’t ready to lose her. We’re still not. That’s why we run—because this disease is ruthless, and it doesn’t get to win.
