Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Hello friends!

As a team, we have come together to take steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 27, 2024 in the city of Pittsburgh.

In an effort to continue the legacy of our PC loved ones, we want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients who are fighting the battles of their lives, all of whom are doing so with the same strength and courage as our loved ones demonstrated each day. We remember those we lost, the ones running their race, and those who will someday be diagnosed with this disease.

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. 

Our team has set a personal fundraising goal in hopes to surpass it, but we truly need your help. A gift of any size to help us get there is so appreciated. 

PanCAN PurpleStride is for everyone, and we’d love for you to join our team! Just click the Register button at the top of this page and follow a few easy steps to get set up. And anyone who registers and raises $50 will receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2023 T-shirt! (Who doesn't love a new tshirt?!)

Please help us get one step closer to the day where pancreatic cancer patients THRIVE and we can soar beyond a 13% survival rate. Let's come together so that folks like Kelly will someday be offered a promising treatment option.

Patients and families need us, as funding for one of the most deadly cancers is extremely low.  I remember the days of praying for a breakthrough to come and though ours never did, we can walk for those who are praying the same.  Sadly for many of us, our heartache is the common ground, but we raise money to give hope to those who follow. We do it all for our loved ones and they live on through us. Personally, Kelly’s life and goodness remain an inspiration. May we all demonstrate the same strength and courage in our lifetime. 

Thank you for your support!
