What do you mean by Fundraising?

While registration fees make it possible to cover the costs of running the walk, Fundraising is an essential part of helping us meet our mission of increasing survival rates and quality of life for patients through medical research – we need your help. Your fundraising page is automatically generated when you register so please spread the word and ask your friends and family to support your walk.

What is a team fundraising page?

Are you a group walking for someone affected by pancreatic cancer? Why not walk together and multiply your impact.

It’s simplest if your team leader registers first and creates the team. Once the team is set up, additional members can join when they register
