Pancreatic cancer is a major health challenge...
The American Cancer Society reports that pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cancer killer in the United States. The ACS’s 2010 estimates for pancreatic cancer in the United States are 43,140 new cases and 36,800 deaths. The lifetime risk of having pancreatic cancer is about 1 in 72 and is similar for both men and women. The five-year survival rate is 5 percent, and this survival rate has not changed in nearly 40 years.
YOUR support can help change these statistics. Not all supporters can donate time or money, but all supporters can pray. That's all we ask. Not just for us, but for all who are living with this disease. Pray it Forward.
As an awareness reminder, why not wear all the Purple you can through the month of November!
