Run or Walk virtually or use a local Walk/Run to fundraise and spread awareness!
On the weekend of 4th of July 2026 (July 3-6), Dr. Eagleton will be back with a virtual 2-mile-walk supporting a world without pancreatic cancer.
You can join this event from anywhere: from the mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with foam... even your treadmill!
This is a 100% virtual event that will take place over the 4th of July weekend (July 3-6). You can do it all at once or choose to break it up over multiple days.
This will be Project Purple's second of a 3-part virtual series for 2026.
By making your miles matter you are supporting Project Purple in 2 ways. First, you bring hope to patients by supporting our patient financial aid program and sending care packages to those who are battling. Secondly, you are directly impacting and advancing research for early detection and a cure.
We encourage you to set up a team and invite your friends and family to join you in making a difference. Participation can happen from anywhere. Share your fundraising pages and make an even larger impact.
