Pancreatic Cancer Birmingham Event 2013
Here at Dry Clean City of Vestavia Hills, we support local charitable events and try to do our part to contribute to a healthy society. This month, we were contacted by a local volunteer of the Purple Stride 5K Event to support this year’s event with some needed supplies. We supported this event last year, and have agreed to continue our support for this year’s event.
The event is called PurpleStride Birmingham which is a 5k walk/run & 1mile fun run for pancreatic cancer.. It will take place on Saturday February 23, 2013 @ 8:00 am at the Homewood Central Park (1632 Oxmoor Road Homewood, AL). PurpleStride® Birmingham is an opportunity for the community to come together to raise awareness and support for the fight against pancreatic cancer. All of the funds raised go directly to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to fund educational activites and research nationwide. Our presenting sponsor is UAB Medicine (Comprehensive Cancer Center). We will have all ages out there and expect ~700 participants We are already at ~500 and raised over 65000 as of today so we are growing the numbers as we speak. The event November 2011 raised $46,000 and had 450 participants so this year event will definitely be larger!

Pancreatic Cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
The five-year survival rate is just 6%, a statistic that has not changed significantly in forty years. We don’t have another 40 years to wait! The time is now for pancreatic cancer.
This year, over 43,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic Cancer receives just 2% of federal research funding from the National Cancer Institute, yet killing almost as many each year as breast cancer
