<p>Thousands turned out in Rye today for a walk to raise money for pancreatic cancer research. The Lustgarten foundation's annual Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk started eight years ago with only about 100 people participating. The event has now grown to over 2000 people attending. Every dollar raised for the walk goes to research for the disease. The foundation has already raised $900,000 dollars for the day. They expect to surpass $1 million by the end of the day.</p>
