Charities
We are the only UK charity that specifically focuses on improving pancreatic cancer survival rates through early diagnosis in everything we do. We raise awareness of the symptoms and risk factors of pancreatic cancer across the year. Join us this Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month by sharing your story! Founded by a pancreatic cancer survivor, Ali Stunt, who proves that survival is possible, Pancreatic Cancer Action’s vision is a day when everyone is diagnosed early and survives pancreatic cancer. Quite simply, we know that pancreatic cancer can be detected early, and as long as we are here and continue to be supported, we will do all we can do to make sure this happens more and more. Find out more about us and what we do on our website.
