Welcome to The Abbie's Army PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Hey, there!

As you are most likely very well aware, Pancreatic Cancer became a life changing factor in my life and that of my family just over 2 years ago when my mother and many of yours friend (Abbie) was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Abbie (My Mom) gave Pancreatic Cancer one heck of a fight and was blessed with the unwavering support and love from all of her family, friends and dedicated medical staff. While that was not enough to help Abbie win her individual fight we are aware that without the dedication and donation of so many others before, the 7 month fight  we had  and the memories we made and time we shared during that period would have previously been an impossibility.  To this end our commitment has been to not just give up on the fight because Abbie didn't win hers , but to instead continue the fight in order to  provide others the opportunity to give loved one's a chance as so many did for Abbie before she was diagnosed. More optimistically we are committed to doing our part to help one day find a cure that will give others a better chance at a successful fight and ultimately help to find a cure to this devastating disease.

Accordingly, My team and I are taking steps to end pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

We want to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and we need your help to do that!

PanCAN PurpleStride is the number one way PanCAN raises money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients, and gives them free, personalized one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services.

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 appreciate a gift of any size to help us get there.  

PanCAN PurpleStride is for everyone, and we’d love for you to join our team! Just click the Register button at the top of this page and follow a few easy steps to get set up. And anyone who registers and raises $50 will receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2023 T-shirt!

Can we count on you to get us one step closer to the day where pancreatic cancer patients don’t just survive but thrive?

Patients and families need us now more than ever.

Thank you for your support!
