The impact on Pancreatic Cancer Action

As a charity we are facing the prospect that many of the events and activities we depend on to fund our vital work are being cancelled or postponed.

Pancreatic Cancer Action rely on generous donations and amazing supporters taking part in events to help fund our early diagnosis research and awareness initiatives. These funds also help us provide free information for patients and carers at a frightening and bewildering time.

Today, 26 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and 24 people die. This is the heart-breaking reality of the disease and a powerful reminder that we need to continue to take action against pancreatic cancer, fight for early diagnosis and support patients and their families.

We have many exciting initiatives planned this year, but have had to postpone some of these due to the current environment. This is disappointing; however, we are determined that we must go on to improve early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and the quality of life for patients.
