PurpleStride raises awareness and funds for cancer research

PurpleStride Cleveland 2010 took place Saturday, June 12, at Cahoon Park in Bay Village. The event was a 5k run and 2 mile walk to benefit The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. The event was a huge success, attracting more than 1500 people and raising over $115,000. The run/walk included a silent auction and other family-friendly festivities in the park. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths but has the least amount of federal funds being spent on it’s research. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network wants to change that by advancing research, supporting patients, and providing hope to those affected by this horrible disease. Please visit www.pancan.org.
