Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page! (In Memory of the late Michael Grant Jr.)

Hey, there!

In honor of the late Michael Grant Jr, My team and I are taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

Mike was a fun-loving, caring, and easygoing guy, who spent each and every moment living his short life to the fullest. He worked tirelessly to support his family, even up until his final days. He loved music, a good drink, and was happiest when sitting on a beach with his family. Unfortunately, we lost him to P.C. in the fall of 2020, just 3 days after his 58th birthday. 

Pancreatic Cancer is a devastating disease with less than a 7% survival rate. As of 2023, it is the 3rd deadliest form of Cancer in the U.S., affecting the lives of tens of thousands of people each year. 

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 2023 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!
