Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve written. This one will be short & sweet.
This Thursday, November 17th is World Pancreatic Cancer Day. Show your support & spread awareness by wearing something purple. Post to your social media with hashtag #WageHope and #WPCD!
Tell everyone why you wear purple! Together we can end pancreatic cancer!
November marks Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. November 17th is World Pancreatic Cancer Day – a day I like to represent and spread awareness by wearing something purple.
The reason I like to represent this, is because I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer in 2013, and not many people know about this disease! My mom was diagnosed with Stage 1B pancreatic cancer, which if you’re familiar with cancer, you know Stage 1 is not all that bad. But pancreatic cancer seems to be different. Most people diagnosed don’t show symptoms until Stage 4, and die within weeks after initial diagnosis. This is why it’s important to spread awareness.
Since learning about pancreatic cancer in just 4 short years, it moved from the 4th leading cause of cancer related deaths in the U.S. to the 3rd. Look at what awareness has done for breast cancer! Imagine if we could do that for pancreatic cancer too.
So, I invite you to wear something purple on November 17th and share a picture to your social medias representing your purple attire with the hashtags #PANCaware and #WageHope and tell your followers why you represent!
