Creating Hope... early detection will give those diagnosed with this silent killer a fighting chance!
PANCREATIC CANCER Canada is a national voluntary association dedicated to raising awareness of this silent killer, while supporting innovative research into early detection methods. Through this website and other outreach activities, we provide Canadians with the best available information on the disease and current research activities while offering a supportive forum for the exchange of thoughts and experiences.
Having both lost a loved one to this horrific disease, we have made it our mission to champion early detection research. We strongly believe that the discovery of new and cost-effective screening tests will lead to an earlier detection, thereby significantly increasing the odds for survival.
We started the Dick Aldridge Pancreatic Cancer Foundation (DAPCF) four years ago with a handful of enthusiastic volunteers who shared our passion. At that time, there was virtually no awareness, no dedicated Canadian organization and very little information available. Through our collective efforts, we are successfully raising awareness and funds across Canada and to celebrate our growing national presence, we recently launched PANCREATIC CANCER Canada. DAPCF, a non-profit registered foundation, will continue to be our fundraising arm and will champion early detection research by raising much needed funds to support the efforts of leading Canadian researchers. The primary beneficiary of our fundraising efforts to date has been the Pancreas Cancer Screening Study at Princess Margaret Hospital.
We hope you will join us in our fight. Let us give those who are affected by pancreatic cancer the hope and support they require to beat this disease
