Local action. Nationwide impact. This is PanCAN PurpleStride, the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer.

We're taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 26, 2025 and we need your support!

We organized this team for a fourth year to honor our Moms' lives, memories, and battles against pancreatic cancer. April 2025 marks five years since we lost Jan and Joan to this horrible disease. They both enjoyed sunny days, spending time with their families and grandkids, and summer fun - Joan boating at the lake and Jan enjoying the beach and waves.

PurpleStride is the #1 way PanCAN raises money to fund vital research for new treatment options, early detection methods, and to provide patients with free, personalized support through PanCAN Patient Services. Your participation and fundraising keep PanCAN's vital programs running so patients and their families don't have to navigate this journey on their own. Every dollar you give means more patients can benefit from PanCAN’s free, one-on-one support, personalized information, service and resources that can make a real difference in their lives. PurpleStride is an inspirational day to honor those we lost, celebrate survivors, and turn the nation purple!

Please join our team as a participant, or make a gift of any amount to get us one step closer to our fundraising goal and improving more patients’ lives. You can donate to a team member or make a general donation to the team. Anyone who registers and raises $50 will receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2025 t-shirt!

We hope as many of you as possible can walk with us at the Cleveland Zoo on April 26th!

The Gaydos, Kocher, Gregg & Kaszar families thank you for your support!
