Pancreatic Cancer PurpleStride Philadelphia 5K Walk

On Saturday, November 7th, 2009, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network will be hosting a 5K walk and fun run with music, food, kids' activities, silent auction, raffles, special guests and more. The run will start at 8:30am at Tyler State Park in Richboro, PA. You can register online for $25 before October 18, or $30 anytime after. Pancreatic cancer survivors and kids 10 and under can participate free of charge.

Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of any major cancer, yet it receives less than 2 percent of the National Cancer Institute's research budget. Proceeds from PurpleStride Philadelphia will benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
