Welcome to Purple for Pudden  -PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Pudden was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009.

She fought hard against this disease, for her children and grandchildren, until she couldn't anymore. She passed away Valentine's Day 2012. She was 57 years old. 

Watching a once vibrant soul fade over three years was one of the hardest things we've ever experienced. And nothing we'd want anyone else to experience. 

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

We’re taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

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.

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.  

Want to help in a bigger way? We’d love for you to join our team! Just click the Register button at the top of this page to get started. Register for free, raise $50 and you’ll receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2025 T-shirt!

Let’s show everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer that we’re fighting for them – thank you for your support!
