Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

This cause is deeply personal to us. Our team walks in loving memory of three incredible people we've lost to pancreatic cancer—my mom, Linda Chancellor, Dana's uncle, Gayland Stephens and her aunt, Brenda (Stephens) Andrews. Their strength, love, and resilience inspire us to take action so others don't have to endure the same heartbreaking journey.

We’re taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer—PanCAN PurpleStride—on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

PurpleStride participants raise critical funds to support:

• Vital research for new treatments and early detection

• Free, personalized, one-on-one support through PanCAN Patient Services

• And so much more for patients and families affected by this disease

Why It Matters:

• Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, with a 5-year survival rate of only 13%

• More than 67,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year

• PanCAN’s bold goal by 2030 is to increase the 5-year survival rate from 10% to 20%

• PanCAN’s vision is a world where all patients with pancreatic cancer thrive

• Their mission is to take bold action by advancing research, building community, sharing knowledge, and advocating for patients

Here’s Where You Come In:

We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal—because the more money we raise, the bigger the impact we can make. We would be profoundly grateful for your support. A gift of any size helps patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Want to help in an even bigger way? Join our team! Click the Register button at the top of this page. Registration is free—and if you raise just $50, you’ll receive the official PanCAN PurpleStride 2025 T-shirt.

Let’s walk together in memory, in love, and in hope—for a future where pancreatic cancer no longer takes the people we love.

Thank you for your support!
