Purplestride Jacksonville 2025!

TEAM MISSING HAPPY DICK IS AT IT AGAIN....and I am LATE to the party. I lost my dad to Pancreatic Cancer in a short 4 month battle over 16 years ago now.  Julie and I (and friends and family like you) have raised over $365,000 that has helped fund the research that has increased the 5 year survival rate from 6% to 13% in that time.  

This week, the federal government voted to  DECREASED funding for Pancreatic Cancer Research by 57%! Making it even more important for individual efforts such as Team Missing happy Dick and PANCAN as a whole!

Thanks in advance!
