10 years ago this month I lost my beautiful bride of 28 years to this disease. At the time the 5-year survival rate was only 6%. The Boise Affiliate was just getting started and did not have much visibility. I didn't find out about the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network until after Pat had passed. I incorrectly felt like we were dealing with this disease on our own. I stride now to remember her, and to help raise awareness so that nobody else will feel like they are on their own.

I stride in memory of my mom who was a young 55 when she was diagnosed and  lost her battle after a short 7 months. I also stride for my aunt who passed after a year long battle.  I continue to raise awareness so that other families  do not have to endure what my family has had to. I stride to bring  a time that there will be HOPE when diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, hope  to look forward to a future.

I stride in memory of my sister, Heather. She was an inspiration, a goofball, a friend to everyone she met, and is dearly missed. She passed at 35 years old only 16 months after diagnosis. My hope is that someday, a sister researching her sibling's recent diagnosis is met with optimism and relief at a high survival rate unlike the single digit chance Heather was given.

I stride for my Grandmother, Nellie Ireland, Mother Stella Ward and friend John Bradley who passed away from Pancreatic Cancer.  And for all the other friends and families who have lost love ones to this cancer.

I stride for many reasons first being for John Bradley. He was a great friend and always passionate about spreading the word and willing  to share.  John was an eight year survivor and waged hope everywhere he went.   I also stride for my husband’s Aunt Claudette who has only weeks after her diagnosis.  And I also stride for my neighbor Dale Tuttle who also had a short but fierce battle.   I stride in the hope that more research is made for all the others battling this disease.

I started striding in 2011 for my Mom, Debbie. On April 16, 2009 she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 4 months and 2 days later she passed away for the awful disease.
I stride now for everyone who is affected by pancreatic cancer.
My family and I have been so blessed to be apart of this organization and this event that brings hope and awareness to so many.

I stride every year for my partner John Bradley. John was the driving force behind bringing an Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to Boise, and PurpleStride was an important piece of bringing awareness to the disease. John lost his battle in 2014 as an 8 1/2 year survivor! He always said he was lucky. I know that he would be thrilled to see that even in today's crazy world we continue to Wage Hope for better patient outcomes so others don't have to be "just lucky". Wendy Stoneberg

I am surviving, I was diagnosed 9/15/19.  Fortunately my stage 2 tumor was in the head/neck of my pancreas and I underwent Whipple Surgery 10/3/19.  After 7 Folfirinox chemo treatments, my liver was suffering so we stopped chemo.  So far, I've had 2 clear scans.  I pray to be in the very small group of those whose cancer never returns.  And I pray that the 10% five year survival rate grows to 100%.  Thank you PanCAN!

Vicki was diagnosed in June 2019, entered a clinical trial and fought with such heart and bravery.  She died on Jan 1st, 2020 at 63 years young.  I miss her so much.  My friends and I are running a marathon in her honor and to raise funds for PanCan - reading these stories broke my heart but lifted my spirits.  One day we will find a cure.
