Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Rosezella "Sissy" Hacker was a light to many family members, friends and coworkers. She was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer in the setting of minimal symptoms. She fought valiantly and survived much longer than expected.

Our family will be remembering Sissy by joining the walk with PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 29, 2023 in Nashville, TN. We're also fundraising through their campaign to honor her memory in aiding in the research to help find solutions to this horrible disease that puts out so many extraordinary lights every single day.

I want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and we're calling on your help to do that!

A little about the PanCAN PurpleStride campaign from their website:

"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 we raise, the bigger impact we make in the lives of those just like Sissy. We would appreciate a gift of any size to help us get there. 

Can I count on you to get us one step closer to the day where pancreatic cancer patients don’t just survive but thrive? We pray someday reserach will come far enough to provide effective resources, treatments, and a cure! In the meantime, we can be a helping hand to those affected by Pancreatic cancer, and their families, by helping fund that invaluable research.

Patients and families need us now more than ever.

Thank you for your support!

Bill & Kari
