Hundreds of walkers touched by pancreatic cancer will unite at the Elm Avenue Town Park in Delmar, New York, on Sunday, September 10 for a morning of hope, remembrance and action. Since 2004, the Lustgarten Foundation’s Albany Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research has raised more than $1.5 million to support the most ground-breaking pancreatic cancer research.
After losing four family members to pancreatic cancer, Shari and Neil Piper organized the first Albany Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Over a 20-year-period, Neil lost his mother, sister, uncle and brother.
Pancreatic cancer accounts for just 3% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States each year, yet it is the third-leading cause of cancer deaths and has a 5-year survival rate of only 12%. To learn more about the walk and their participation – we welcome Shari and Neil Piper.
