Independence Day Double Mile for Early Detection 2025

🎆 Independence Day Double Mile for Early Detection

Join the worldwide Project Purple community, as we walk, jog, or run 2 miles to raise awareness and provide critical funding for the advancement of early detection testing and protocols.

📅 Event Information

• Distance: 2 Miles
• Date: July 4-7th
• Time: When you want
• Location: From your home or anywhere you can

💡 Purpose of the Event

This is a 100% virtual event that will take place over the 4th of July weekend (July 4-7). You can do it all at once or choose to break it up over multiple days.

The 5-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is only 13%, largely because it goes undetected for so long. We find that unacceptable so we are raising funds for research towards early detection methods and curative treatment.

All funds raised from this event will fund early detection research initiatives such as the Precede Consortium at NYU Langone and the early detection programs at Hartford Healthcare and the University of Nebraska Medical Center - as well as our recently announced Duke Research Grants!
