"Pancreatic cancer ranks as the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and heads toward second place. Most cases go undetected until late stages because symptoms often resemble other conditions, leaving the five-year survival rate below twenty percent."
"Events like PurpleStride focus on early detection strategies and improved treatments that could change these statistics for the better. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network leads efforts to empower patients, fund pioneering research, and deliver vital services to those affected."
"PurpleStride serves as the organization's largest annual fundraiser, channeling proceeds directly into these life-saving initiatives while building a nationwide movement of hope and action."
PanCAN PurpleStride returns to San Jose, inviting residents to participate in a walk at Almaden Lake Park to raise funds and awareness for pancreatic cancer. The event includes personal stories, remembrance moments, and a commitment to improving patient outcomes. Opening ceremonies begin at 10am, with the walk starting at 10:30am. Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., with a low five-year survival rate. PurpleStride aims to promote early detection and better treatments while supporting the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's mission.
