In November 2023, Nat Jerome Barber was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Six short weeks later, he lost his battle with this disease. 

While sitting with Nat in the hospital, he wished that a cure for cancer could be found. His exact words were "No one should have to go through this, especially not children" Although we weren't able to find a cure for Nat, we’re taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 27, 2024.  

Please wear fun superhero-themed attire as we walk together to honor Nat Jerome Barber!

PurpleStride participants raise money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients; free, personalized, one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services; and more.

We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal – because the more money we raise, the bigger impact we make – and would be profoundly grateful for your donation. A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
