PurpleStride 2012

Please join us for a day of inspiration and hope, and help
support the fight against pancreatic cancer. Join us for PurpleStride Maryland 2012 at Oregon Ridge Park! This is the perfect event to bring the whole family, meet others and create memories. We offer great incentives for fundraising and all proceeds benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Stride with others who are just as passionate about finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.


Come enjoy a family-friendly 5K awareness walk/run to honor and remember loved ones (you will not be required to take the trek through the rolling hills of Oregon Ridge). And enjoy the silent auction, kids' activities, music and much more!


PurpleStride Maryland 2012 has over 1,000 participants
registered and have raised more than $126,000! It is not too late to encourage your friends and family to join us on event day and register on-site.
