Stick it to Cancer

The Purdy family is near and dear to our hearts.

For the past 6 years, Jared Purdy has faced lymphoma with remarkable determination through inpatient chemotherapy treatments every 3-4 weeks and frequent travel for care. Despite the challenging demands of treatment, Jared remains devoted to those around him through coaching, mentoring, and giving back. More recently, his wife Sarah received the devastating diagnosis of glioblastoma and has begun treatment at Mayo. In the face of unimaginable circumstances, she has met this challenge with
bravery and grace, fighting with everything she has while continuing to pour her love and strength into her family.
