 The event is in loving memory of James Francis Urian

This annual fundraiser is in honor of James Urian: husband, father, PopPop, brother, uncle, cousin and friend, who passed away from esophageal cancer on April 2, 2022.

Through this first annual event, Jimmy’s family hopes to spread awareness of esophageal cancer, advocate for families facing this disease and raise money to help fund research. Esophageal cancer is currently underfunded. Jimmy’s family hopes that more targeted treatments and immunotherapies will be developed with the help of contributions through Jimmy’s annual walk to remember him.

Jimmy’s journey with esophageal cancer was typical like the many others who suffer from the disease. The worrisome signs of hiccups, heartburn, and reflux were dismissed, and an endoscopy was only scheduled after Jimmy began having difficulty swallowing and keeping food down. On December 27, 2021, Jimmy was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer in two spots, thus beginning his short journey.

Jimmy was the youngest of three children, husband to Dawn, father to Kai-Leigh (Matt) and Justin (Morgan), and PopPop to six beautiful grandchildren: Emmett James, Colton Harris, Hallie Blake, Charlotte Jane, Teagan Rose and Maria Stella. He was a brother to Jeanne (Tom) and Bobby (Claudia), an uncle to several nieces and nephews and friend to many.

Jimmy had many interests: hunting, gardening, making soupy, dirt bike riding and the list goes on.

Most of all Jimmy is extremely missed by all who knew him, especially his family. He may be gone, but definitely not forgotten.

Donations are welcome!

If you are unable to participate but would still like to make a difference, you can donate to the event. Also, everyone can create an online custom fundraising page to help make an even bigger impact.

In loving memory of Linda Klueber

This first annual fundraiser is in honor of Linda Klueber – Mother, daughter, sister, friend, aunt, nurse, volunteer, and hero – who passed away from esophageal cancer on September 30, 2021.

Through this first annual event, Linda’s family hopes to spread awareness of esophageal cancer, advocate for families facing this disease, and raise money to help fund research. Esophageal cancer is currently underfunded, Linda’s family hopes that more targeted treatments and immunotherapies will be developed with the help of contributions through Linda’s Trail of Love,1st Annual Esophageal Cancer 5K Run/Walk.

Linda’s journey with esophageal cancer was typical of the many others who suffer from this disease. The worrisome signs of heartburn and reflux were dismissed, and an endoscopy was only scheduled after Linda began having difficulty swallowing. In August 2019, Linda was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal adenocarcinoma. Her two-year journey was challenging, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even though targeted treatments for her specific condition were not available, Linda did not give up hope and tried every treatment available. Linda passed peacefully in September 2021 but is still ever-present in all our lives.

Linda was the oldest of 7 Guarino siblings, mother to Katie Ablett and Michael Klueber, and a grandmother-to-be to baby Ablett. She had over 25 nieces and nephews and hundreds of friends. Linda’s extended family includes many Guarino aunts, uncles, and cousins whom she loved dearly.

Linda was a born leader and cared deeply for everyone. She led like a friend, without being bossy, stubborn, or partial. Linda was a wise peacemaker and the best listener. She was also a silent warrior and made it through tumultuous times with a smile and her loving nature. She had a great sense of humor that could always turn situations from bad to hilarious. Linda was a dedicated volunteer with the Somerset County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), and the Canal Walk Health and Safety Awareness Team. Linda’s love, laughter, and caring nature will be her lasting legacy.
