91% of pancreatic cancer patients will die within five years of diagnosis.
There is no detection test.
Why us? Because early diagnosis is key!
If patients are diagnosed in time for surgery, their chance of surviving 5 years or more increases ten-fold.

Take Action! You can Help!
Losing our father so quickly was a devastating blow to our family. Everyone that knew him knew he had such a generous and kind soul. He will be so dearly remembered and so deeply missed by his family, friends, and many grandchildren.
After losing our mother, we were happy to find such an incredible organization to donate our time, money and efforts. Our shared goal to fight pancreatic cancer. We all have to join together to fight this terrible disease.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to promote awareness, increase education, and further pancreatic cancer research.
Specifically, research aimed at finding the disease earlier. If pancreatic cancer is found even one year earlier
in an individual patient evidence exists that rather than only 15% of those who are eligible for potentially curative surgery at diagnosis now – this figure may increase dramatically.
Cancer Patients Alliance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose initiatives include ToFightCancer and Pancreatica. All donations are tax-deductible. Recently, a seasoned specialist told us that we had the highest social good to donation ratio that they had ever seen in any non-profit.
We put all donations to serious use toward the mission of fighting pancreatic cancer. Less than 8% of donated funds are used for management expenses.
reflect the benefits of our program: athletic shirt, race registration fee reimbursement (if applicable) awareness bracelet, personalized fundraising webpage, dedication bib, prizes (iPod's or Fitbits for doubling the minimum!) and fundraising tips, techniques and support. Once you hit your first $10-dollar donation we will mail out your helpful participant package!
