Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

We are walking in memory of Alan David Russakov, M.D.. He passed away from Pancreatic Cancer on December 30, 2018. It was an extremely unexpected and an unimaginable loss. He truly cared about his family and his patients, and we can't think of a better way to honor him than to raise money for this cause. 

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!
