He was a 2x Ironman, an Ultra marathon runner and triathlete. Bob was as humble and generous as them come and will be immensely missed, always. With absolutely no preexisting health conditions, Bob was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2025 and passed away in March 2025, only 4 weeks after diagnosis. This race is looking to honor Bob's memory by doing what he loved to do most -- running (or walking) and also raising funds to donate to Project Purple (projectpurple.org). These funds will support critical research and patient aid, assisting in identifying effective treatments for a wider range of people. Currently, the five-year survival rate is only 13 percent, and there are no widely available early screening options. This effort also supports Project Purple’s mission of creating a world without pancreatic cancer.
