Whitney's Race is held to honor Whitney Marsh, who passed away from pancreatic cancer at 41. The event aims to raise funds for the Whitney Marsh Foundation Inc to support local education and national research on pancreatic cancer. Despite medical advances, this disease remains a leading cancer killer, often diagnosed late. The race seeks to increase awareness and fund better diagnostic and treatment options. Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome, and donations are encouraged to help create a brighter future for pancreatic cancer research.
