For LGBTQ+ patients, the anxiety of a serious illness like #pancreaticcancer can be magnified by a healthcare system that may not always be equipped to provide sensitive, competent care to gender and sexual minorities.

During Pride Month and beyond, it’s important to raise awareness of the health disparities experienced by the LGBTQ+ community. And when it comes to pancreatic cancer, PanCAN is ready to help patients navigate the healthcare system and find the resources they need. 💜

Today, on National Nurses Day, we’re honoring the incredible nurses who bring compassion, comfort and expert care to patients and families every single day. 💜

Join us in thanking every nurse making a difference in the #pancreaticcancer community and beyond.

[PanCAN @PanCAN]

Although #pancreaticcancer is currently the 11th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S., it is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, after lung and colorectal. And it is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths before 2030.

Because 13% survival is not enough, PanCAN has set a bold goal: Drive the five-year survival rate to 20% by 2030. We will do this by accelerating research, expanding patient support and championing a thriving field. 💜

[PanCAN @PanCAN]

We’re on the way to $25 million! The House Dear Colleague letter had a record-breaking 127 signatures supporting funding for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program (PCARP) at the Department of Defense! Now it’s time for the Senate to do the same. We need you and your community to contact your senators and urge them to sign their names in support of renewed and continued funding for PCARP. ✍️💜

We’re grateful to @KTLA for welcoming Star Trek’s @JonathanSFrakes ahead of PanCAN PurpleStride to share why he’s walking to end pancreatic cancer this weekend. 👟💜

Jonathan strides in honor of his younger brother, Daniel. He shares, “He and I moved to New York together. We came across the country together in a 1967 Chevy Sportvan. We listened to music together. We lived in rundown apartments together."

Then, the unthinkable happened. Daniel was diagnosed with #pancreaticcancer. He died May 17, 1997, at the age of 41, just one week shy of the birth of Jonathan’s daughter. “It was quite shocking — and still is — to not have him as part of my life."

Today, Jonathan honors his brother’s memory through his work with PanCAN, using his platform to raise critical funds and awareness. In addition to his brother, he is inspired by fellow Star Trek actor and dear friend @KittySwink, a 20-plus-year survivor. Together, they founded the PanCAN PurpleStride Los Angeles team, Trek Against Pancreatic Cancer — raising hundreds of thousands of dollars while helping advance PanCAN’s mission to support patients and drive research forward.

Jonathan shares, “We make progress, but we have a long, long, long way to go. We need to detect pancreatic cancer earlier, so that people like Daniel aren’t diagnosed so late. We need to find better treatment options for those who are battling the disease. And PanCAN is leading the way, accelerating this progress.”

Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 22, starting at 9 a.m. PT — we have our final #PanCANPurpleStride 2026 matching gift challenge!

Thanks to a generous combined $100,000 gift from three anonymous donors, PurpleStride donations will be matched up to $250 per donation until the $100,000 runs out. Which it will, and fast! 👟💨

That means donations to your PanCAN PurpleStride fundraiser can be doubled — a $50 gift or self-donation could double to $100, so you can earn the official PanCAN PurpleStride 2026 T-shirt if you haven’t already!

Every dollar you receive for PurpleStride — matched or not — changes the story of the disease for patients and their families. Together, progress is possible — and we couldn’t be more grateful! 💜

For more information on this opportunity, please visit our matching gift rules page at 🔗 https://t.co/LtIveo8FUk.
