Whether it’s by mile or a set donation amount, every donation drives hope forward for patients and survivors.
Join us in turning the road ahead into a powerful path for change.
Follow the Ride: Dan's Story
Dan is riding more than 3,800 miles to raise critical funds for pancreatic cancer research and prove that a diagnosis isn’t the end of the road—it’s a call to action. Along the way, he’ll share “Daily Awareness Drops” to spotlight facts about the disease and the groundbreaking work at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin.
As a pancreatic cancer survivor and a man of faith, Dan believes this journey is bigger than him—a calling to inspire others facing the fight. This isn’t just a ride to Alaska—it’s a marathon of hope, resilience, and impact.

Hope Has No Finish Line
In the fight against pancreatic cancer, there’s no single end goal, because hope doesn’t stop when a dollar amount is reached. Our first marker is to raise $380,000, symbolizing the 3,800 miles of Dan Winkelman's cross-country ride. But this is only the beginning. The need for research, patient support, and awareness continues well beyond any milestone.
