Organiser's Description
THE PCA 5K IS AN EVENT THAT BUILDS AWARENESS ABOUT PANCREATIC CANCER
STATEMENT/PURPOSE:
Pancreatic cancer affects our country at an alarmingly high rate, having the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, only following lung and colon cancers. In order to address this disease within our local community we have organized a Pancreatic Cancer Awareness 5K run to educate and increase awareness about this illness.
