Thank you for supporting our PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser!  

Our team is named after our wonderful fathers / grandfathers  - Matsuo (“Mac”) Ikejiri and Sueo (“Sam”) Hirashima - both of whom courageously battled pancreatic cancer.  While their battles didn’t end how our families would have liked, we are hopeful that, through organizations like PanCan, other families with loved ones battling pancreatic cancer will be able to celebrate a cure  

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

Our team is supporting the 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 and need your donations! A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Want to help in a bigger way? Join us by registering for PurpleStride! Register for free, raise $50 and you’ll receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2024 T-shirt!

Let’s show everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer that we’re fighting for them.

We are so grateful for your support!
