Rita, our HERO Mom, has always taught us about strength and determination but over these past 16 months has shown us what being a true warrior really is! She endured brutal Pancreatectomy surgery (removal of her pancreas, spleen, gallbladder and piece of her stomach) which required months of recuperation followed by 6 months of harsh chemotherapy for a chance of being cured of this vicious disease!

Unfairly, only a few months later our hopes were crushed as another tumor was found. But as always, Rita has remained determined and immediately began to fight again!

We have been blessed to be surrounded by so much love & support throughout this journey and now want to make the biggest impact on the lives of all pancreatic cancer patients – and we 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.

We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal – because the more money we raise, the bigger impact we make – and would appreciate a gift of any size to help us get there.  

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!

Please join us on Saturday, April 27, 2024 in Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park in Boca to take steps to end pancreatic cancer!

Thank you for your Love & Support!
