Answering a Call-to-Action has Real-life Results
What is the real-life impact of sharing the facts with friends and family, wearing purple to work or posting our November Awareness video on social media? Each action is more important than you may realize. Too few people know what the pancreas is, let alone the facts, symptoms risk factors of pancreatic cancer. Far too many are diagnosed at a late stage, in part because of a lack of awareness and because there is not yet a standard for early detection. When you raise awareness you are empower others, when you fundraise you are advancing critical research and when you introduce your community to the Hirshberg Foundation, that message will spread far and wide reaching a patients. Our actions change lives!
