Kaleb Wyse of the Wyse Guide shares, "November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s a month I’ll never forget. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer 22 years ago when he was only 44, and I’ve worn purple many times since in his memory and for so many others who have been affected by this disease.

I’m so proud to partner with the @PanCAN to help raise awareness, encourage research, and support the families facing pancreatic cancer today. If this cause is close to your heart, too, I encourage you to follow PanCAN and learn more about the work they’re doing!"

Join us in thanking Kaleb for raising #PanCANawareness in the comments. 💜

In 2005, Anne S. was 37, healthy and busy raising two young daughters while working full time in finance. A pancreatic cancer diagnosis was the last thing she expected.

After her diagnosis, Anne’s oncologist directed her to PanCAN for reliable information. She underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation while working to maintain a sense of normalcy for her young family.

“I really wanted life to be normal for them and for me,” she recalls.

PanCAN soon became more than a source of information. Through her local affiliate in the Washington, D.C., area, Anne met other survivors and volunteers who understood the challenges of pancreatic cancer. Then came the area’s first #PanCANPurpleStride, where people gathered in purple and took steps to end pancreatic cancer. 👟

Anne brought her husband, John, and their daughters. Together, they walked — the beginning of a family tradition that continues today.

“It was really inspiring,” she says, remembering the people of different ages and backgrounds united to change the story of the disease.

Anne went on to help organize PurpleStride. Her family joined her in fundraising, volunteering and building connections across the pancreatic cancer community.

What began as a search for answers became a lasting commitment to helping others find support, too. 💜

Twenty years later, Anne is a survivor, a longtime #PanCANvolunteer and a passionate advocate for research. Her journey reflects both the progress made against pancreatic cancer and the urgent need to keep moving forward.

We’ve seen a momentous advance this year — FDA approval of a treatment targeting the mutations that drive more than 90% of pancreatic cancer cases. And right now, more drugs are in the pipeline than ever before, signaling a new generation of therapies poised to transform what’s possible.

It’s time to move faster and push science to reach every patient who needs it. 💜

This Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, we're coming together to change the story of pancreatic cancer. 💜

Through breakthrough research, patient support, advocacy and the power of our community, PanCAN is driving progress and bringing hope to everyone affected by this disease.

Behind every breakthrough is a community of survivors, families, researchers, advocates and supporters who believe a better future is possible. Together, we're working toward earlier detection, better treatments and a world where survival is the expectation, not the exception.

The progress we've made is only the beginning. There's more to do, and it will take all of us, together.

All together, we can turn science into survival.
