Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

My mom, Kimberly Blanton, fought tirelessly against pancreatic cancer, showing unparalleled strength, grace, and courage through every moment of her journey. Even when faced with the harshest challenges, she never gave up. She carried a light that touched everyone around her, always thinking of others even while fighting for her own life. Her spirit was unbreakable, and her love was boundless.

On February 2, 2025, she left us, but her legacy of perseverance and hope lives on in all who knew her. While we mourn her loss, we celebrate the incredible woman she was—someone who faced every obstacle head-on with unwavering determination. Her memory will continue to inspire us to keep fighting for what’s right, for what’s important, and to never lose hope. We carry her strength with us as we move forward, forever honoring her in all we do.

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.

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!
