Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all major cancers, at just 10%. But our survivor, Paul Mahn, has been battling this deadly disease for the past 6 years. This road for him has been extremely difficult. He has had to battle not once, but twice, as it returned 2 years later with more malignancy and no pancreas remaining. But his resilience, faith in God, great team at Froedtert, his work family, and his support system have made these 6 years possible. Pancreatic cancer does not stop of slow down, and neither do we!

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.

To have Paul Mahn walk beside us on his 2nd year walking is a miracle that we want to keep celebrating!

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 on research and innovation – and would be profoundly grateful for your donation. A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
