“I feel strongly that it's my mission to be an advocate, a voice, because so many pancreatic cancer patients don't get the opportunity to do so. So many wonderful people have come into my life, whom I never would have met otherwise. It fills my heart with joy when new volunteers say ‘I want to become part of this group, and make a difference, like you are!’ Our affiliate has made an impact building awareness, fund raising, and equally important, creating a real community for survivors, families and friends.”
- Maija, sever-year survivor and volunteer

PurpleLight Boise 2012
PurpleLight Boise took place on November 10, 2012 as part of the second annual National PurpleLight Vigil for Hope. This event happened in conjunction with over 50 additional PurpleLight Vigils across the country. It was a wonderful opportunity for family and friends of those touched by pancreatic cancer to come together to gain both comfort and encouragement. Photos will be available at www.purplelight.org. PurpleStride Boise 2012
On September 8, 2012, the Boise affiliate held their second annual PurpleStride in Boise, ID. The family friendly walk was a great success by bringing awareness to more than 280 participants and raising over $23,000 for the cause!
PurpleStride Boise 2012 was an amazing and inspiring day and furthered our mission to advance research, support patients and create hope for all those affected by pancreatic cancer! |
