Don’t miss this event! On Saturday, October 17, 2026, send a crew to capture residents fighting against pancreatic cancer at the Lustgarten Foundation’s 11th Annual Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk.
In addition to uniting the community in the spirit of hope, 100% of the money raised goes to advancing research aimed at early detection methods, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure for pancreatic cancer, the most lethal cancer there is. Families and supporters of those affected by pancreatic cancer are encouraged to join and support.
- Erin Bangert, Walk Leader. Erin lost her grandfather after a short
4-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She decided to turn her grief into action by starting a pancreatic cancer fundraising walk. This year, she is continuing to mobilize her community to bring an end to the deadliest cancer that has a survival rate of just 13%. Since its inception, the Hannibal Walk has raised over $88,000 for pancreatic cancer research.

Registration Opens at 8:00 am
Walk Starts at 9:00 am
at Riverview Park, Hannibal, MO
Free parking will be available to all walkers & volunteers on site.
Post-walk, the Annual Folklife Festival is taking place in Downtown
Hannibal.
