La’Reuance and Sandra Volunteer to Honor Parents, Help Others by Share Email Editor’s note: In honor of Black History Month, PanCAN is celebrating the contributions of our community’s Black supporters and the incredible ways they’re making a difference for pancreatic cancer patients. “Amazing.” Sandra (left) and La’Reuance (right) honor their parents by volunteering with PanCAN Those were the words Sandra Howell Jackson and La’Reuance Allen used to describe their PanCAN family. Both of their lives had changed in 2016, when Sandra lost her mom to pancreatic cancer, just shy of 11 months after diagnosis, and La’Reuance’s dad – after whom she was named – was diagnosed with the same disease. He passed away just three months later.
