Tim Walsh
Tough Mudder
For the past three years, event organizer Tim Walsh and his 25-member team, Just Us Jerks, compete in a local Tough Mudder, which is a challenging 10-mile course with more than 20 obstacles. Their annual motto is: to drag pancreatic cancer through the mud and bury it, and for the last three years, they’ve been going just that. To date, Team Just Us Jerks has raised more than $60,000. Tim’s secret to success? He is an accomplished triathlete and encourages his triathlete friends to join him in raising money for a cause he is passionate about.
Nicole Millard
Luau for Lustgarten
Luau for Lustgarten was started by the Millard/Marrese families as a way to honor family members who have been affected by pancreatic cancer. In 2010, the family decided to create a luau dinner complete with delicious food, lively music, and fantastic prizes, to raise money for the Lustgarten Foundation. Since inception, the event has totaled more than $116,000 and has become an annual event they all look forward to. Nicole didn’t want to host an ordinary party which is why she chose a luau instead.
