Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page, Dave’s Band!

Hi, I’m Olivia! I lost my dad, Dave, to pancreatic cancer in 2021 and ever since then I’ve wanted to make a difference. My dad didn’t even know he had this terrible illness until it was too late. I want to stress to everyone to get checked and I want to be able to provide resources for those who don’t know about pancreatic cancer! 

Dave grew up in northern Michigan and always loved it! He moved down to south east Michigan in his 20’s where he made a career for himself as a chef. Along with cooking he was in a heavy metal band as the drummer, hence the name Dave’s Band! He also enjoyed disc golfing, hunting, fishing, video games, and spending time with loved ones. Growing up, I always remember eating yummy meals, going to Dave N Buster’s, and disco golfing! I miss him and all that we would do together everyday. I want everyone to know that they should cherish the time they have with loved ones as much as they can right now :)

We’re taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 27, 2024!

Here’s where you come in! 

We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal – because the more money we raise, the bigger impact we make – and would be profoundly grateful for your donation. A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
