Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

“Zort” was a nickname Sam’s Dad (the girls’ Grandpa) gave himself when he was in high school—a funny story that we would love to tell you some time! It fit him perfectly—unique and fun-loving, as he always was, especially when surrounded by family and friends. October 14, 2024 would have been his 69th birthday. November 14, 2024 marks 1 year since he left our worlds. We are walking to honor him and all those who left us too soon from this awful disease.

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!
