My dear beautiful sister, Vicki, was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer in April 2016. The diagnosis was such a devastating blow since the survival rate for pancreatic cancer at that time was only 8%. Over the four years that Vicki battled pancreatic cancer, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) was a valuable source of information about treatment options, side effects, nutrition, etc.
Because of Vicki, I have served as the Affiliate Chair for the Indiana Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. PurpleStride is the walk to end pancreatic cancer. The event is on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at White River State Park in Indianapolis. By joining our team or making a donation to our team, you are supporting Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's efforts to improve the survival rate and find a cure for this awful disease.
During her difficult journey, Vicki kept her positive attitude, sense of humor, and relied on her strong faith. She continues to be an inspiration to her family and friends who gather each year at PurpleStride to honor her and to raise funds so others with pancreatic cancer will have better outcomes.
If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to call or text me at 317-771-2782. If you do not want to donate online, there are paper donation forms you can print and mail.
Peace and love,
Jenny
