This year, we are walking with purpose, love, and remembrance as we come together for PanCAN PurpleStride.

We are forming this team in honor of Erica - a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose strength, kindness, and light continue to live on in all of us. Though she passed in 2024, her impact is everlasting, and every step we take is for her.

We also walk in loving memory of Victor Najanick, a father, grandfather, and friend,  who passed in 2015. His legacy, too, reminds us why this fight matters and why awareness and hope are so critical.

We miss them more than anything! 

PurpleStride is more than a walk. It’s a statement that our loved ones are not forgotten, that their stories matter, and that we stand together against pancreatic cancer - for those we’ve lost, those currently fighting, and those we hope to save in the future.

We invite you to join our team - to walk, share, or simply stand beside us in honor of Erica and Victor. Every step, every contribution, and every show of support makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us turn our grief into purpose and our love into action.
