World Pancreatic Cancer Day is a time for communities around the globe to come together to renew their dedication and help raise awareness for this disease. It is a global day of action that gives us a unique opportunity to make sure our voices are heard. Join us in shining a light on this disease – your actions have power. The Hirshberg Foundation’s efforts to eradicate this disease takes the support of communities far and wide. Your participation could make a worldwide impact.
In support of World Pancreatic Cancer Day or in honor of a loved one, make a donation, share the facts about pancreatic cancer on social media or share your story to make a lasting impact. Every year, the Hirshberg Foundation renews our heartfelt promise to never give up in this fight against pancreatic cancer, and together, we can fulfill that promise by celebrating World Pancreatic Cancer Day and raising awareness together!
As a member of the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition we recognize and celebrate that we are not alone in this fight. The Hirshberg Foundation along with more than 99 member organizations from more than 40 countries across six continents, are raising awareness and inspiring action. For too long, pancreatic cancer was a neglected cancer, but that’s changing now with initiatives such as World Pancreatic Cancer Day. Together we are helping bring greater attention, raise funds for research, support patients and, ultimately create better outcomes for this deadly disease.
This year, the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition’s message encourages our communities to get to know your pancreas, for you and your loved ones. It’s about time you learned the risks and symptoms of pancreatic cancer — there is no early detection test, so pay attention to your body. Every moment matters. It’s about time you talked to your family and friends about this disease. It’s about time you raised your voice to advocate for more attention, more patient support and more research. On World Pancreatic Cancer Day, let’s all work together to make time. To make a difference.
