PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Thousands walked to end pancreatic cancer at PurpleStride Pittsburgh on Saturday on Overlook Drive in Schenley Park.
The event, which took place at the Oval Sportsplex, was hosted by KDKA-TV anchor Kristine Sorensen.
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. with a five-year survival rate of just 9 percent. In order to save lives and double survival by 2020, PanCAN urges the Pittsburgh community to join PurpleStride. Funds raised through the event support critical research, clinical initiatives and patient services.
