Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Our team wants to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and we need you to do it!

Laura 'Squeaver' Appelbaum's stage 4 pancreatic cancer (mets to lungs) journey began in July of '22. She has been fighting hard and after 41 infusions, 5 days of intense radiation and bi-weekly injections she is beating the odds of this horrific disease. She truly appreciates all the love and support she is receiving.

We’re taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 27, 2024. The St. Louis walk this year is at the Chesterfield Ampitheater. We would love for you to walk with us!! We are meeting at 8:15 in the parking lot by the playground by Ed's silver truck which will have purple balloons on it. We will have donuts and water/juice. The ceremony starts at 9 and the walk begins at 9:30. Any questions please call/text Ed or Lynn. Might want to wear PURPLE too!!

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. Thanks so much for those who have donated!

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 be profoundly grateful for your donation. A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
