About Us
Audrey's Purple Dream
Audrey Pidde's path to becoming a beacon of hope did not begin under extraordinary circumstance. Like many of us, she loved Northern Minnesota, small town life, and the strength found within the community. In Akeley, Minnesota, she made a home, a place where the simple yet profound truth emerged: we take care of one another.
In 2005, Audrey's world was shattered by news that no one should ever have to hear—she was diagnosed with cancer. Yet, even in the shadow of this daunting battle, she faced it with an unwavering spirit, holding onto the dream of a trip to Alaska. Her fight ignited a remarkable response within her community. Neighbors stepped forward, strangers united behind her cause, and within days, they had raised $10,000 to help turn that dream into reality. Tragically, Audrey’s light dimmed before she could set foot on that Alaskan soil. During her last days, she found comfort knowing her journey was made easier by the love and support that surrounded her.
Mission Statement:
At Audrey's Purple Dream, we are passionately dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for individuals in our local communities who are bravely facing cancer.
