November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
PurpleStride-Portland2010 happens on Sunday, November 7, 2010 a 2K WALK at 9 a.m. at the Oregon Zoo. Portland Providence Cancer Center supports PurpleStride-Portland 2010 a fundraiser in support of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to advance research, support patients and create hope. Dollars raised each year fund personalized support for patients, as well as research grants and advocacy efforts to increase pancreatic cancer research funding. Sign up today or learn more at PurpleStride-Portland. Come out and join us on the 2K walk in support of Pancreatic Cancer Research November 7th.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. More than 35,000 people will died from it this year. The 5 year survivor rate is only 5%. Picture this, walk into a room of 100 people –5 years later, there will only be 5 or less left! Think about it–that is a statistic that you don’t want to be a part of. These are people just like you…people like my husband, John who died from Pancreatic Cancer in March of 2009. Be a Hero in the fight against “Pancreatic Cancer”. Get involved. “Know it ! Fight it! End it!”
During the month of November, the Fulton House Bed & Breakfast in Portland, Oregon will continue its support to the Providence Portland Cancer Center for Pancreatic Cancer research by donating proceeds from our November bookings during our 1 night & second night for just $25 room rates.
