November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month & Please Pray for My Dad!

My life has changed drastically since my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about six weeks ago.

Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cancer killer in the United States, but it receives the least amount of research funding and little public recognition.
It amazes me that in a country like ours there is such little awareness about and research on such a deadly disease.

You can help change that! PanCan (the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network) is an amazing organization that I have learned about since my Dad's diagnosis. They and I ask you to "picture your world purple," this month and especially tomorrow, November 15th.

Please visit their website (www.pancan.org) to increase your own awareness about this terrible disease and to see what you can do to help (click on the section that says "Raise Your Voice!")

And, please pray for healing for my Dad too! He's a fighter and has maintained a simply amazing attitude!

Thanks!!!!
