Thank you to all those who participated in PurpleStride 2025!

I am already planning for PurpleStride 2026, which will be an especially meaningful year for me personally — it will mark my 15th year in remission. It will also be our team’s 14th year participating in this incredible event!

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate among major cancers, with only 12% of those diagnosed surviving beyond five years. During my own treatment, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network provided my family and me with a dedicated case worker and vital resources that helped us navigate the journey. Now, raising donations is one of the best ways I can give back, supporting both innovative research and the critical services offered to patients.

Together, we can raise awareness and hope in the face of this devastating disease. Whether by joining our team, wearing purple, or making a contribution, your support will help fund groundbreaking research, provide essential patient assistance, and create a brighter future for those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Supporting this cause is easier than ever — starting in October you can make a donation or join our team by simply clicking the link at the bottom of this message.

Thank you for any support you can bring to our team and our mission. Every gesture, big or small, truly makes a difference!

Mike
