Is there any pancreatic cancer walks in Massachusetts?

or fundraisers for pancreatic cancer in Massachusetts?

From my personal experience the Jimmy Fund is a waste of time. You donate money and only a small percentage actually goes toward the Dana Farber center. The American Cancer Society is also a waste of time. www.PanCan.org is the best place to look for resources on pancreatic cancer.

There is the Jimmy Fund walk that they hold in Boston every September. It supports Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute which is an organization that is fighting cancer in general.
