Hello Friends… We are now less than two weeks from our 2nd Annual Appendix Cancer Walk. Tanya Stoecker Heller and I want to again thank everyone who is working or donating to make this an amazing event. A special shout-out to our first time Bronze Sponsors (Pope Engineering, Zack Rothrock Builders, and the Winston-Salem Scottish Rite)! While we are doing well, we are still far from our final fundraising goal, so we sincerely hope you will help us get there. You can help by joining our fundraising/walking team or simply donating at https://secure.acpmp.org/team/801975. Thank you SO much and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone that comes out.

Hello Brothers & Friends… I wanted to remind everyone that our 2nd Annual Appendix Cancer Awareness walk will be taking place in Lewisville, NC on June 13th at the Jack Warren Pavilion. As survivors, Tanya Stoecker Heller and I have been working hard on this and we hope you will join us as a member of our walk & fundraiser team, a sponsor, or simply as a donor in supporting awareness and research for this extremely rare cancer.

You can join our fundraising team or donate to our Appendix Cancer Awareness walk at our fundraising page (https://secure.acpmp.org/team/801975).

We are also looking for sponsors this year. There is a wide range of sponsorships available from the ACPMP Research Foundation. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity, so all donations are tax deductible. This PDF (https://acpmp.org/.../2026_Appendix_Cancer_Global_Walk...) outlines the various sponsorship and advocacy levels.

Our goal is not only to raise awareness and funds for appendix cancer research, but to make the North Carolina Walk the best in the country (we’re currently 2nd!). So, if you, as an individual or as a company would like to sponsor our Walk, we would greatly appreciate it.
