I'm taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 26, 2025 in Wilmington, DE.  We could really use your help raising awareness and funding new research efforts to end this awful disease. Donations are more important than ever this year as federal funding for pancreatic cancer research was cut significantly!! Any and all are welcome to join our team and walk with us on the 26th!

I am walking to honor and celebrate the life of my father, Santo D. Celia, who lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer on February 11, 2023.  I am forever grateful to him for being the best father, sharing his passion for music with me, always making me feel so protected and loved, and showing me what it means to be #SantoStrong. He is truly my Superman.

I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients  and I need your help to do that!

PanCAN PurpleStride is the number one way PanCAN raises money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients, and gives them free, personalized one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services.

Here's where you come in! I've set an ambitious fundraising goal  because the more money I raise, the bigger impact we make  and would appreciate a gift of any size to help me get there.

PanCAN PurpleStride is for everyone, and I'd love for you to join me! Donations can be made through this Facebook Fundraiser or directly on our team “Santo Strong” page on the PanCAN PurpleStride site. The link is posted in the Facebook Fundraiser. You can also use this link to join our team as a walk participant on April 26th. We’d love to have you!

Can I count on you to get us one step closer to the day where pancreatic cancer patients don't just survive but thrive?

Patients and families need us now more than ever.

Thank you for your support!
