“PanCAN PurpleStride is about coming together. It’s not just a walk, but a walk with a purpose.” – Charles F., PurpleStride Team Captain
Walk with a purpose at PanCAN PurpleStride, the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, happening in nearly 60 communities across the nation on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
PurpleStride is PanCAN’s biggest fundraising event of the year. By taking steps and fundraising for PurpleStride, you make it possible for people with pancreatic cancer to receive free, personalized support through PanCAN Patient Services, giving those affected the resources and information they desperately need.
“Every donation that comes in – big or small – fills me with immense gratitude because I know it’s going to help everyone affected.” – Sarah M., PurpleStride Team Captain
You also fuel critical research to find early detection methods, effective treatment options and so much more.
Right now, the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 13% and it’s just not acceptable. But there is hope, and you can see it shining brightly in a sea of purple at PurpleStride!
Registering now will give you plenty of time to fundraise to hit your goal – and ample time to plan any fundraising events you have in mind.
