Our Mission

Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but receives the least research funding of the major cancers.

3rd Annual Memorial Motorcycle Ride

In Memory of Chris Lesperance

Saturday, May 31, 2008, 10 am

Raise money for pancreatic cancer research at UMass Memorial Cancer Center on this motorcycle ride through the New England countryside.

Chris Lesperance was the little brother to eight older siblings. He was the darling of the family and loved to say that the only reason that our parents stopped having kids was because "they finally got it right."

He was always smiling and ready to help anyone in need. He was a great dad to his daughter, Shylo, and the "cool" uncle to his many nieces and nephews. He loved toys: trucks, snowmobiles, ATVs and motorcycles.

In June 2005 we lost him to pancreatic cancer. He was just 40 years old. It was a devastating blow to our family and his many friends.

In May 2005, a motorcycle ride helped to pay his enormous medical bills. Now we ride in his memory and support the Pancreatic Cancer Alliance and UMass Medical School to help find a cure for this terrible disease.
