We are taking steps at PanCAN PurpleStride in Washington DC*, the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

It’s an uplifting day that brings together survivors, caregivers, families, researchers, healthcare professionals and more to raise critical money and awareness for pancreatic cancer.

We will walk to honor our amazing friend Joan...and to help her honor John’s legacy.

“Many of you know that this cause is deeply important to me. My husband John was diagnosed on Valentine’s Day of 2019 and despite his valiant, courageous and hopeful journey, he lost his battle on January 18, 2021.

Our family has been trying to think of a way to honor John for years, but nothing ever felt quite right until this wonderful opportunity came along.

ur family is so grateful to finally have a way to honor John’s memory in a way that would have been meaningful to him...by helping others.” Joan Vassos, The Golden Bachelorette
