Honoring Angie’s Strength: Walking for a Cure

Welcome to our PanCAN PurpleStride team page. We are walking, fundraising, and sharing our story for a very special reason: Angie.

Her Brave Fight

Angie was an amazing woman who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in July 2023. She was incredibly strong and maintained a positive outlook on her diagnosis from day one. When she learned about her cancer, her life changed quickly. She underwent chemo, radiation, and many procedures in an attempt to remove the cancer. Through it all, Angie remained resilient. She always took on cancer with an “okay, what’s next?” attitude and stayed strong until the very end. On December 16, 2024, Angie passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family.

Angie was a loving and caring daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. She had an amazing spirit and a wonderful outlook on life. She fought with grace, strength, and showed everyone just how brave she truly was.

We appreciate any support you are able to show to help others learn about and battle pancreatic cancer. Please consider making a donation to help people feel less alone during this difficult time in their lives and to help in the fight against this disease. Thank you for your support.
