Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Hey, there!

My team and I are taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 27, 2024. As most of you know, I lost my dad in 2021 and my Uncle (his brother) in 2008, both to pancreatic cancer. It's a vicious and unforgiving cancer. My goal is to raise money so that in the future, pancreatic cancer can be stopped, and families can have more tomorrows with their loved ones with new life-saving technology. If you've made it this far in the page, thank you for being here! 

In 2019 when my dad was diagnosed, the survival rate was a grim number. Thanks to PanCan and every single generous donor, the 5-year survival rate has increased to 13%. While that still seems grim, this number has increased for the third straight year. Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. 

If you're still with me reading this, I appreciate you and hope you can donate even the smallest amount. With every single donation, the fight and the research for this cancer can continue to grow. 

Thats my soapbox for now. Thank you for reading my Team Page and God Bless You :) 

We want to make the biggest impact on the lives of 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.

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 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 2024 T-shirt!

Can we count on you to get us one step closer to the day where pancreatic cancer patients don’t just survive but thrive?

Patients and families need us now more than ever.

Thank you for your support!
