A team of department walkers/runners participated with the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center team in Pittsburgh’s 2018 PurpleStride on October 13, 2018 at Schenley Oval Sportsplex. PurpleStride is the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network’s most powerful vehicle for fundraising and awareness. Each year, in more than 50 PurpleStride events across the country, survivors, families, researchers, caregivers and others touched by pancreatic cancer come together to rewrite the future of this deadly disease. The team, led by captain Amer H. Zureikat, MD, FACS, raised approximately $3,000 for the cause.
