Thanks for supporting my families PanCAN PurpleStride team fundraiser!
We are proud to be taking steps as a team and family to end pancreatic cancer at PanCANs biggest community event of the year, PanCAN PurpleStride!
My dad, Douglas Holthus, was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in March of 2025. He has always been the rock of our family and is the strongest person I know, and I want to bring awareness to something that affects a lot of families worldwide. I know that with the love and support of our family and friends, and his unwavering faith, we will get through this together!
PurpleStride is an inspiring event for anyone who has been affected by pancreatic cancer and wants to ensure vital research continues and free resources are made available to all who need them.
To make the biggest difference, we have set an ambitious team fundraising goal and need your help. Will you donate to our fundraiser? You can donate directly to the team (which will not go toward a specific team members goal) or you can select a team member and donate toward that person's fundraising goal (which will also support the teams goal)!
A gift of any size will provide much-needed hope for a brighter future for the entire pancreatic cancer community.
Want to join us at PurpleStride? Now is the time! Join our team by registering for free (click REGISTER above!) and take steps with us. Everyone who registers and raises or self-donates $100 or more will earn an official PanCAN PurpleStride T-shirt!
Again, thank you for supporting my dad, my family, and everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. We are incredibly grateful for you and your support!
