MEMBER HIGHLIGHT: Pancreatic Cancer Action
Pancreatic Cancer Action is a UK charity whose aim is to save lives by focusing on improving early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The charity was set up by a pancreatic cancer survivor, Ali Stunt, three years after her diagnosis in 2007. Having been involved in setting up the very first UK Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Week in 2009, she decided it was time to step up the levels of awareness for pancreatic cancer and founded Pancreatic Cancer Action in 2010. The charity has grown exponentially in seven years and now employs 14 staff members.
