Erin Robertson, wife of Chicago White Sox pitcher, David Robertson, sat down with FOX 32 morning news anchor Corey McPherrin yesterday to talk about the upcoming PurpleStride Chicago event taking place at Soldier Field on April 29.
Erin lost her father to the disease exactly one year ago, just nine months after diagnosis. She was joined by the media relations chair of our Chicago Affiliate, Frank DeSeno, who lost his brother and wife to the disease.
David and Erin Robertson teamed up with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in 2009 and they have since been vocal within their community, raising awareness and funds for our nation’s toughest cancer.
