👕 Dress in BLACK & WHITE! Wear your favorite zebra-print clothing or accessories and help us turn the park into a sea of zebras! 🦓
Every Step Has a Purpose. Every Zebra Has a Story. ❤️
Please join us for our second annual Zebra Steps for Patty, a special walk honoring the life, love, strength, and extraordinary courage of my beautiful sister, Patricia "Patty" Lopez, who battled neuroendocrine (NET) cancer for more than 14 years.
Patty faced unimaginable challenges throughout her journey, yet her determination, resilience, and love for her family never wavered. Although we miss her every day, her legacy continues to inspire us to make a difference.
This gathering is more than a walk. It's an opportunity to come together, celebrate Patty's life, raise awareness about this often-overlooked cancer, and support critical research through the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (NETRF).
🦓 THREE WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
🚶♀️ WALK WITH US IN PERSON: Join us at Kiwanis Park for a morning of friendship, remembrance, and purpose. Walk at your own pace and enjoy the company of others united for a meaningful cause.
🌎 PARTICIPATE VIRTUALLY: Can't make it to Arizona? No problem! Walk wherever you are — in your neighborhood, at a local park, or on your favorite trail. Wear your zebra print, snap a picture, and share it with us! Your steps count, no matter where you take them.
❤️ DONATE TO SUPPORT RESEARCH: If walking isn't possible, please consider making a financial contribution to NETRF. Donations help fund important scientific research to advance our understanding of neuroendocrine cancer and develop better treatments.
🦓 Every Step and Every Donation Makes a Difference! 🖤🤍
Our goal is to bring people together to raise awareness about neuroendocrine cancer and raise funds for critical research. Whether you walk with us in person, participate virtually, make a financial contribution, or do both, your support helps us honor Patty's legacy and make a meaningful difference.
Together, we can turn our steps into awareness, our generosity into hope, and our collective efforts into progress toward better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. ❤️

💕 Why Zebras?
Neuroendocrine cancer is represented by the zebra because it is often overlooked or mistaken for more common conditions. As the saying goes:
"When you hear hoofbeats, think zebras, not horses."
Together, we can bring greater visibility to this disease and hope to those affected by it.
Please RSVP, invite your friends and family, and share this event! Whether you walk beside us, walk from afar, donate, or simply help spread the word, you are part of Patty's legacy.
🖤🤍 For Patty. For Awareness. For Research. For Hope. 🦓
