Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
Coming together to bring more than hope to people affected by pancreatic cancer every November
With research underfunded and left behind, people are left with only hope to hold onto.
That’s why Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month is such an important moment in our yearly calendar.
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month (also known as PCAM) takes place every year in November. It includes World Pancreatic Cancer Day which is held on the third Thursday of the month. It is a month where we come together to raise awareness of the disease and its symptoms to drive early detection and save lives.
Even the smallest actions add up to a massive difference. So whoever you are – supporter, campaigner, nurse, researcher – together we can do more. Together, we can create a world where everyone with pancreatic cancer lives long and lives well.
How you can get involved:
Fundraising
Research will transform survival for pancreatic cancer and by getting involved you’ll help accelerate progress.
There are so many ways for you to get involved. Whether it’s something social or sporty, in the office or bringing together your friends and family, we’re here to support you with putting your plans into action.

Raising awareness
We make a noise because people have gone unheard. Together, we can raise awareness of the disease and the signs and symptoms, so that people can get a crucial diagnosis, sooner. Your support helps us transform the future for people with pancreatic cancer and enable us to be there for those who are affected today. Because people with pancreatic cancer deserve more than hope.
Put a spotlight on the disease by lighting up your home or a landmark purple on World Pancreatic Cancer Day – held this year on Thursday 19th November.
Whether you or someone close to you has been personally affected, taking part in Purple Lights for pancreatic cancer is a touching way to pay tribute to them as well as raising much needed awareness of the disease.
