Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Cortney K. Jones was by far the coolest and craziest mother and grandmother around! “MaMa” had a way with her babies!

In 2007 after months of a mysterious illness, Cortney was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.  She did not allow this diagnosis to hold her down. Including still traveling to GA and taking her grandbabies on vacation all while doing chemotherapy. As a nurse once told us, I don't know how your mother is still doing this.

Cortney left us on February 13, 2009 after 18 months (avg life expectancy) of diagnosis. However, she left us with some much – the memories, the laughter, and the love can NEVER be replaced.

We joined the PanCAN walk in 2011 as a way to inform others of this disease and to support those that are fighting the good fight of life! Now in 2025 the PurpleStride walk has expanded and reached so many areas of the world with this information.

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!
