Kicking PancreAS™ – Burlington, ON

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers—but together, we can make a difference.

We’re excited to bring this high-energy 5K to the community and invite participants to help us make the inaugural event a huge success. 2025 was a record breaking year and we are hoping that 2026 is even better!
