NEW YORK (PIX11) – More than 66,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year, and about 10% of these new cases will be in the tri-state area.
Franco Juricic, 52, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer five years ago. His family is continuing his fight for others.
Juricic's wife, Jacquelyn, and his two children Noah and Ana are taking part in Saturday's PanCAN PurpleStride in Parsippany. They talk about it on PIX11 Morning News.
