Kernls Champion for Pancreatic Cancer
“My brother and I were raised by our mother. She was our entire world. Her loss has been difficult to absorb, but it has propelled me into finding a way to combat this specific type of cancer which is one of the deadliest.”

Kernls Champion for Alzheimer's Disease
"This was the first fundraising I had ever done, the Kernls team was awesome. Just educating myself more about the research has been extraordinary. My mother is 81 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s two summers ago. I want to engage [with the research] and stay engaged, for my mom, for my grandmother - I’ve become an advocate on so many levels."
