Join us for PanCAN PurpleStride Arkansas/Whitney’s Race, happening on Saturday, April 26, 2025!

This year, PurpleStride is partnering with Whitney’s Race to produce one extraordinary event — Arkansas’ ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer.

PurpleStride is PanCAN’s biggest fundraising event of the year. Whitney’s Race is the premier event of The Whitney Marsh Foundation.

Whitney Marsh passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2018. Since then, her family has committed to supporting patients, caregivers and families impacted by pancreatic cancer through the Foundation, co-founded by Whitney’s daughter and Miss America 2024 Madison Marsh.

PanCAN and The Whitney Marsh Foundation share a commitment to demand more, do more and deliver more for everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer. Together, PurpleStride and Whitney's Race will serve as a catalyst for this powerful movement.

Your participation and fundraising help those affected by pancreatic cancer in your area by:

Offering free, personalized support and resources through PanCAN Patient Services.
Providing molecular testing and personalized treatment recommendations at no cost through PanCAN’s Know Your Tumor®.
Supporting PanCAN’s research priorities of finding early detection methods and new treatments.
Creating hope — because a five-year survival rate of 13% is just not acceptable.

Your PurpleStride Arkansas/Whitney’s Race fundraising gives people like Betty the assurance to make informed choices about her care.

“I believe that my interactions with Patient Services gave me confidence in my decision making. I do not and did not second-guess my decisions.”
— Betty Cole, Survivor

Serving as PurpleStride Team Captain of the Yes We Xan team has been a way for me to harness my energy to help my beloved son, Xan, fight pancreatic cancer.

There's a number of other terms I could use to describe myself and our pancreatic cancer journey. But these are primary, and this is the reason I'm sharing my story. Our story.

Like many others, my involvement with PanCAN began with the loss of a loved one. My brother, Jim, just three days after his 60th birthday and only 27 days after his diagnosis, passed away from pancreatic cancer.
