Purple Stride is returning to Creve Coeur Lake park again in 2026! Please join us as we enjoy time together, sharing memories, listening to music, having fun, and walking to support a great cause. Maureen's Motivators continues to be a huge presence at St. Louis Purple Stride, contributing significant funds for this very worthy cause, which is focused on advancing research around this terrible disease and also providing valuable patient services!  

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the national nonprofit organization fighting pancreatic cancer in a comprehensive way: funding private research for tomorrow’s cures, providing patient support for today’s needs, and advocating for greater public awareness and more government focus on funding cures for the nation’s third leading cause of cancer deaths. Over the last 10+ years since mom/Maureen was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer patient outcomes have improved drastically, with the 5-year survival rate nearly doubling from roughly 7% to 13%, with much of this progress facilitated by the efforts of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
