Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

We are participating in the PanCAN PurpleStride in memory of Maria Ortiz, a loving Wife, Mother, Sister, Grandma and friend to all. She was a beautiful and generous soul whose smile lit up the room. Those that knew her know that her humor, infectious laugh, welcoming nature and positive energy are missed everyday. After a 3 year battle with Pancreatic Cancer, Maria passed on November 18th, 2022. We miss her dearly and hope that by doing this, we are making her proud and keeping her memory alive. 

PurpleStride participants raise money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients; free, personalized, one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services; and more. The gift you give will have a lasting impact on the lives of so many people affected by Pancreatic Cancer. Please donate and support this mission, your generosity is greatly appreciated and will help make a positive impact on the world!

 Thank you to all those who have donated in our goal. We sincerely appreciate each and every donation, no matter the size. 


-The Ortiz Family
