Pancreatic cancer advocates wear purple on ABC’s Good Morning America with Robin Roberts

Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) advocates appeared with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America to raise awareness for World Pancreatic Cancer Day (WPCD).

The languages and locations may be diverse, but one common theme reigned true on Nov. 15, 2018 – Demand Better. For Patients. For Survival.

It all surrounded World Pancreatic Cancer Day (WCPD), a day when nations come together to shine the purple spotlight on pancreatic cancer. This year’s goal: raise awareness about the disease starting with symptoms and risk factors.

While the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network‘s (PanCAN) grassroots army, along with its fellow members of the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition, raised awareness in the United States, media outlets also rolled up their sleeves to spread the word.

Whether featuring interviews on TV screens and newspaper pages or heading to social media to share messages of hope and awareness, journalists, celebrities and influencers alongside PanCAN volunteers, advocates and survivors used their public platforms to increase pancreatic cancer awareness.
