Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

In August 2005, our mother was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The oncologist gave her four months to live but we were all determined to fight this. Despite chemotherapy treatments and getting our mother the best care possible, a little over three months later, she was gone. We, our family members, and friends were left to grieve and deal with the gaping hole left with her passing. Pancreatic cancer had robbed us of a wonderful wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend!

This year, our family is walking to remember our mother and grandmother, Martha Hill, and taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

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!
