Purple Stride- Team Run for Dave DelVecchio, August 2

I’m striding because of Dave.

Did you know that more than 45,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year? The five-year survival rate is just 6%, and we recently learned that pancreatic cancer is anticipated to move from the fourth to the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. by 2020.

We CAN change these statistics. Join me in supporting the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's effort to fight this disease!

I’m participating in PurpleStride because I want to join the fight and make a difference. On event day, I’ll be striding with thousands of other people impacted by this disease. 

Your donation will help fund research, provide support for patients and caregivers, and – most importantly – create hope!

Please donate to Run for Dave DelVecchio or join me for the run today by clicking on the link below.  The run is only 12 days away,August 3rd in Pittsburgh.

Thank you for your support!
