This coming year, thousands of Canadians will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told there is little hope for survival. We have chosen to join Pancreatic Cancer Canada in their fight to SAVE LIVES by raising funds to support early detection research and improve treatment options.

Pancreatic cancer is an insidious disease that can strike anyone, at anytime. People are shocked to learn that it claims nearly as many lives each year as breast and prostate cancer yet remains somewhat of an “underdog” – underfunded and misunderstood. A landmark report from the non-profit institute, Charity Intelligence Canada, cited pancreatic cancer as the most seriously underfunded cancer, receiving less than 1% of research and charitable funding. 

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in Canada. There is no known cause, no early detection and no known cure. Seventy-five percent (75%) of all patients die within the first year, most within the first three to six months. Surprisingly, only a handful of scientists concentrate solely on this disease. This is a direct result of the lack of funding earmarked for pancreatic cancer. The survival rate has remained unchanged for decades - in the single digits (6%).

We believe ... there CAN be a future without pancreatic cancer. We need your support to reach our goal and make this dream a reality.

Together we CAN make a difference!
