Once again, Team Screen is raising money for PurpleStride, an event which is taking place this year on April 27, 2024 to support the important and valuable work that Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) has done to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and, in particular, to promote screening and early detection.  

Like many, our fight against pancreatic cancer is personal.  In Sid's case, he was fortunate to have a doctor who, after reviewing his genetic and family history, ordered an MRI which showed a small tumor that could be removed surgically before it spread.  For Team Screen, PurpleStride provides us with the chance to pay forward the lifesaving work carried out by PanCAN every day, so that others can get the screening, information and attention they need to detect and defeat the world's deadliest major cancer.

This will be our third year participating in PurpleStride.  During that time, the five year survival rate for pancreatic cancer has increased from 10% to 13%, which sounds modest but is more than one thousand lives saved.  Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our friends and family, our team raised more than $90,000, and this year, our goal is to raise more than $100,000.

We hope that you will support us by making a gift of any size.  You can donate to a team member or make a general donation to our team.  Or, you can join our team, raise money and walk with us on April 27 at what is truly an inspiring event. ​

Thank you for supporting PanCAN.

With love and gratitude, 

Amy & Sid and Team Screen
