BUFFALO, N.Y. — The inaugural PurpleStride Western New York event was held on Saturday morning in Buffalo.
PurpleStrides walks across the country are among the largest sources of funding for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
The 5K walk and run brought out survivors, impacted families, loved ones, researchers and advocates to RiverWorks and the waterfront.
The event supports pancreatic research, clinical initiatives, patient services and advocacy. Organizers say that nearly 1,100 people participated and that more than $181,000 was raised.
2 On Your Side's own Scott Levin was a proud emcee of the walk.
