Diane's Seeds For Hope

07/16/2025

With grateful hearts, we share that this will be our final event as we close our journey with Diane's Seeds for Hope. Over the past four years, we've been so touched by the love, encouragement, and support we've received from all of you. Our last event will be held on November 8th 2025 at C-Tec from 9:00AM to 3:00PM. (Newark Ohio)
While the non-profit is ending, our family will continue to honor Diane's memory by supporting PANCAN, The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.org 877-2-PANCAN).
With Love,
The Family of Diane Preston
(1942 - 2020)

The Memorial Christmas tree for Diane is up in the woods behind the landscaping that she designed and loved so much. This upcoming Christmas will be the 5th without her. She loved celebrating Christmas with family and we miss her all year long, but especially this time of year.
We may need to reduce the scheduled events this coming year but will not close the Non-Profit. Due to the increasing cost of the web site we intend to use Facebook to list upcoming events and communicate with all of you that have supported our effort to raise money for pancreatic cancer research and patient services. We have also distributed over 1500 brochures in order to raise awareness of risk factors and the options for high-risk people.
Please email us with your request for seed cylinders and/or bird feeders.
Thank you for your support and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Mel Preston and family

Humphrey,s Peak Flagstaff AZ 12,633ft, 4.5 miles from trailhead average time 5 to 6 hrs. Diane and I climbed twice about 24 years ago. We planned on doing it again in our 80s. I'll be 80 in a couple of weeks. Diane didn't make it to 80 so I plan on doing that for both of us with Daniel Canfield (Grandson) in Sept. I'll give that new heart valve a workout.
