Local woman reflects on losing mum this World Pancreatic Cancer Day
It's currently Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and today is World Pancreatic Cancer Day. 
 
To celebrate our awareness month, the following locations in Hampshire are lighting up purple on these dates:
 
O2 Guildhall Southampton - 18th November 
 
I'm also sharing with you the story of local woman Hannah who lost her mum Tracey to pancreatic cancer in the press release attached. 
 
When we started our awareness month in 2010, the 5-year survival rate was just 3%. Now, we are at almost 8% - proving that awareness raising does work!   
 
I would love it if you'd be able to support us and share Hannah's story today and / or news of the Hampshire landmarks turning purple for World Pancreatic Cancer Day.
 
Kind regards,
Adele
