Lisa Manheim is a force! And when her equally tenacious mom, Agi Hirshberg, recruited her to help find a cure for pancreatic cancer after losing her husband to the disease at just 54-years-old, Lisa said “yes”. She left her prestigious retail career and began what is now a 25-year purpose-filled mission as Executive Director of the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
In this episode, Part 2 of my interview with Lisa, you’ll learn about two more inspiring events that provide a supportive, nurturing community for those affected by pancreatic cancer, while raising money to help fund research and provide desperately needed resources for patients and caregivers.
The 12th Annual Tour de Pier takes place Sunday, May 19, 2024 on the Manhattan Beach Strand. This unique five-hour event features 350 stationary bikes facing the Pacific Ocean as participants “Ride In Place to Move Charity Forward.” Each hour, a different spin instructor, celebrity rider and honorary (patient) rider inspire participants throughout this uplifting, emotional, high-energy day.

In addition to supporting the Hirshberg Foundation, Tour de Pier raises funds for the Uncle Kory Foundation (www.UncleKory.org) and Cancer Support Community South Bay (www.cscsouthbay.org).
The 27th Annual LA Cancer Challenge is a wonderful Halloween-themed 5K walk/run scheduled for Sunday, October 27, 2024 on the campus of UCLA. https://pancreatic.org/event/la-cancer-challenge/
