On September 25, 2026 we walk for survival.

We need you!

Since 2020, the ScandiCARE Committee has united all our national offices for Terry's Scandi Walk: a 5KM walk to raising awareness and vital funds for pancreatic cancer research and support programs. Over the past six years initiative has generated over $200,000 to support those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Because progress will not wait, and neither will we.

What makes pancreatic cancer so difficult to diagnose and treat?

add remove
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers because it is so often diagnosed too late. Symptoms are usually vague or don’t appear at all in the early stages, and there is currently no reliable, widely used screening test to catch it early.

By the time it is found, the disease has often already spread, limiting treatment options. Advancing earlier detection and more effective treatments is critical - and urgently needed. Support for research today can help change what’s possible for patients tomorrow.

Why is pancreatic cancer research underfunded compared to other cancers?

add remove
Despite being one of the leading causes of cancer-related death, pancreatic cancer continues to receive disproportionately low research funding. Limited awareness and the fact that too few patients survive long enough to advocate for change have contributed to this gap. The result is a difficult cycle: less funding slows progress, and slow progress makes it harder to attract investment. Increasing support is essential to breaking this cycle and accelerating breakthroughs. Every contribution helps bring much-needed attention and resources to this overlooked disease.
