More Info about Project Purple’s Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month Turkey Trot:
Before you start your Thanksgiving celebrations, hit the street virtually with Project Purple to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer. This virtual turkey trot is a 5k run or 1-mile walk that you can perform from anywhere in the world – whether that means from your local neighborhood, your treadmill, or even your city/town Turkey Trot 5k!

Because Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month takes place during November, we need your help to drive awareness of our mission both virtually and at your local turkey trots. Your participation in this event would be a big help as we step towards a world without pancreatic cancer.
The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 12%. This is unacceptable to Project Purple and our community and we are committed to finding early detection and supporting those patients and families that are faced with this disease.
By participating in the 2023 turkey trot, you are allowing Project Purple to send care packages and financial assistance to those battling as well as advancing research efforts for early detection.
Project Purple’s mission is a world without pancreatic cancer and thanks to your support we will change the outcome of a pancreatic cancer diagnosis and bring hope for the survival of this disease.
We encourage you to create a team and invite your friends and family to join you. “Each of us can make a difference. Together we can make a change.”- Barbara Mikulski
