Christina’s story
NPCF reached out to Christina Parrish, a 15 year pancreatic cancer survivor and founder of the Purple Iris Foundation, and asked to share her story.
“One day during my workout, I was stretching out on a Pilates ball and I noticed a bump protruding under my left rib cage. I knew something was not right… Four days later, they told me I had a mass in my pancreas and lesions on my liver.”Read Christina’s Story

The National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation is funded by donations only. Your donations enable us to provide unwavering support to those in need. Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer and many do not survive much past diagnosis. Testing and medical treatment is extremely expensive even with insurance. We want to provide support for both patients and their families.
