Knowledge is one of the best ways to combat the world’s deadliest cancer. That’s why World Pancreatic Cancer Day Nov. 21 is all about raising awareness and empowering people to take action!
Kelly’s Heroes is part of the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition, a worldwide organization of nonprofit advocacy groups which is the driving force behind World Pancreatic Cancer Day (WPCD). Our President Kerry McKean Kelly chairs the international steering committee that plans the WPCD outreach campaign.
