April
Pyjamas for PanCan
We are asking our supporters up and down the country to put on their pyjamas and say goodnight to pancreatic cancer; the cancer that has been kept in the dark for too long! Will you join us on the 16th April 2019 and wear your Pyjamas for PanCan?
Take part at work, at school, or even with just friends and family!

Share your story with People of PanCan
Sharing your story can be a powerful way to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and offer support to those who might be facing something similar. We invite anyone and everyone to share their experience of pancreatic cancer, whether you’re a current patient, a friend, a family member, or even a healthcare professional.
