The Delaware Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network will join thousands of people in communities across the United States on October 25, 2015 for the fifth annual PurpleLight awareness event to turn the country purple, the color of pancreatic cancer awareness. The event will be held at Legislative Hall in Dover at 5:00pm. Individuals gain both encouragement and comfort by illuminating purple glow sticks as they hear their loved ones’ names read aloud. Registration is now open at www.purplelight.org. The event will commence National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in November by remembering those who have fought pancreatic cancer, honoring pancreatic cancer survivors and inspiring those who have been touched by the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
