Diedre's Match Walk - Overview

Sunday, September 12, 2021


Diedre Alexander has stage IV colon cancer. Every glorious day she’s been gifted is the result of successful clinical trials for therapies to fight her cancer and administered at the HonorHealth Research Institute. Now it’s her turn to give back with Diedre’s Match Walk. 

Her goal is $25,000 for individual donations to be matched by sponsorship dollars.  This will help to launch a new clinical trial with the potential of saving thousands of lives.

Donor dollars raised will be matched!

When you give a dollar it’s like giving two because sponsors will match your donation. Please strike your match and help Diedre launch a clinical trial. 

100% of the donations will be earmarked for colon cancer clinical trials at HonorHealth Research Institute. (HHRI)

Diedre's Match Walk - About Diedre

About Diedre I like to think of myself as a woman who defies her age, her disease, and anything that gets in my way of loving people. As is the case for many of you, my favorite quote comes from a movie:  Love is: L ife’s  O nly  V alid  E motion.  I believe unconditionally that love is the answer to everything in this life. We need to believe in each other and to love one another. Born in Minneapolis, MN, I lived most of my adult life in Michigan and then returned to Minnesota in my 40’s where I found my soul mate, Alexx.   Lovebirds from the start (we married in 1991), we eventually became snowbirds, making the move to Arizona where we’ve lived for the last 25 years. I’m as diversified in my interests as I was in my careers. After 15 years as an educator, I spent another 15 in the corporate world as a sales and marketing executive. The next 15 years were spent in theater and entertainment, ending my career life acting, radio disc jockeying, directing and producing plays that Alex

Diedre's Match Walk - Sponsorships

Diedre’s Match Walk is a final fundraiser for Diedre. It’s her opportunity to raise money for the Honor Health Research Institute so the work that has kept her alive the past six years will continue for others that follow her.   Extending time and quality of life is at the core of the research being done at HHRI.   Although Diedre’s cancer has advanced to a critical stage that is shortening her time, she remains hopeful that one more clinical trial might be just what she needs.   If not, one will surely be available to help others. As she reaches out to her friends and family to make individual donations, she is also seeking sponsors interested in supporting research for treatment of colon cancer to match the individual donations being made.   Sponsors can identify any amount in $1,000 increments.   Whenever the individual donations hit $1,000 markers, our sponsors’ dollars will be used to match those donations.  We currently have $25,000 promised in sponsorships ready to match ind
