Pancreatic cancer begins in the cells of the pancreas – an organ in the abdomen that lies behind the lower part of the stomach. The pancreas has two main functions. It makes enzymes that help with digestion, and it makes hormones, such as insulin, that control how our bodies store and use glucose – sugar that is the body’s main source of energy.

Help us break through the silence this Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.

With pancreatic cancer, silence is deadly. It’s a disease that gets too little attention and funding, and far too many people are dying.     It’s up to us to speak up on behalf of those who have died from the deadliest common cancer and together fund the research breakthroughs that will transform the future.   

The more people who join us, the louder we’ll be. We can’t be ignored and change will happen. From fundraising to campaigning and raising awareness amongst the community, we’ve put together some ways you can make your voice heard this PCAM.
