Pancreatic cancer takes 90 percent of its victims within five years and kills more people than breast cancer in the United States. The disease is the third leading cause of cancer-related death, and it is projected to become the second around 2020. More than 57,600 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year. That’s more than 158 mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, colleagues, or friends who will hear the dreaded news every single day.
Pancreatic Cancer has affected many loved ones near and far from our hearts and it is time to put a stop to this horrible disease. If you would like to make an extra donation, please visit
