Thank you for supporting our PanCAN PurpleStride team. The Lile family is participating because this cause is deeply personal to us. Chris—our dad, husband, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend—is currently facing pancreatic cancer, and we also lost his mother to the disease in 2011. We want to help ensure vital research continues and that free resources remain available for every family navigating this diagnosis.

We’ve set an ambitious team fundraising goal and would be grateful for your support. Will you donate to our PurpleStride fundraiser? You can give directly to the team, or choose a team member to support—either way, your gift contributes to our overall goal.

A donation of any size fuels hope and drives progress for the entire pancreatic cancer community. Want to join us at PurpleStride? Now’s the perfect time to register for free (just click REGISTER above!). Everyone who registers and raises or self-donates $100 or more earns the official PanCAN PurpleStride T-shirt.

Thank you for supporting our family and everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. We’re truly grateful.
