World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition
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 93 organizations from 35 countries on 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 2020, let’s all work together to make time. To make a difference.
