Purple Stride New Orleans 5K

PURPLESTRIDE LOUISIANA 2018 PRESENTED BY AETNA BETTER HEALTH OF LOUISIANA PurpleStride walks are among the largest sources of funding for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. When you Wage Hope at PurpleStride, you join a vibrant community of survivors, impacted families, loved ones, researchers and advocates committed to rewriting the future of this deadly disease. Together, we’ve raised more than $87 million for pancreatic cancer research and patient services through community events from 2008 to 2016. But the true impact of our work together is measured in progress, not dollars. The five-year survival rate has increased by three percentage points since 2014 and is now 9 percent. We have inspired more than 1 million people across the country to take action in the fight against pancreatic cancer. With each PurpleStride we continue moving the needle for patients battling this devastating disease. Purple ribbons don’t rewrite the future of pancreatic cancer. You do. EVENT DAY SCHEDULE
