Albany Capital District Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research
Hundreds of walkers touched by pancreatic cancer will join Lustgarten Foundation Walk founders, Shari and Neil Piper, and their hard-working coordinating committee at the Elm Avenue Town Park in Delmar, NY, on Sunday, September 7 for a morning of hope, remembrance and action.
The Pipers organized the first Albany Capital District Walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research in 2004. Shari and Neil know first-hand how devastating pancreatic cancer can be - over a 20-year-period, Neil lost his mother, sister, uncle and brother to the disease. “We knew Neil, and most likely our children, were genetically ‘wired’ for pancreatic cancer,” Shari explained. “We could either bury our heads in the sand or become proactive in the fight against pancreatic cancer. We chose to become involved with the Lustgarten Foundation, especially when we learned 100% of Walk donations fund pancreatic cancer research with a focus on early detection and a cure for this disease.”
The Walk has raised more than $1.8 million to support ground-breaking pancreatic cancer research, providing the potential for more tomorrows for all patients. The 2025 Walk is sponsored by St. Peter's Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Surgery, Albany Medical Center Pancreas Surgery, Albany Gastroenterology Consultants, and many other local businesses.
