(prHWY.com) January 15, 2013 - Santa Ana, CA -- Manhattan Beach, California (December 12, 2012) - The Pancreatic Cancer Network, a non-profit organization geared towards spreading awareness in the fight against the disease, is offering
customizable pancreatic cancer apparel through their online store. This allows survivors and loved ones to show their support and solidarity in the ongoing struggle against this life threatening condition.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer related deaths in the US, with a 94% fatality rate within five years of diagnosis. It is, by far, one of the most dangerous and least understood diseases that affect people from all walks of life, all over the world.
One of the biggest reasons behind this is the lack of detection tools that enables the removal of the disease in its earliest phase and minimal treatment options for those in advanced stages. In 2012, an estimated 43,920 people will be diagnosed in the United States alone. Pancreatic cancer is the only type that has not generated any improvement in patient survivability after over 40 years of research.
For those with loved ones struggling with the disease,
purchasing pancreatic cancer gifts to show their support can make a world of difference in morale.
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network encourages interested individuals to Shop Purple and join the fight. Depending on the item purchased at their online store, approximately 20% of the purchase price will benefit the research organization and help them towards finding a cure.
For those who prefer to send funds directly instead of purchasing items, donations can be made at their website or by calling 877-272-6226. For more information, visit
