In honor of World Pancreatic Cancer Day on Nov. 16, people around the world will come together to Demand Better in the fight against the world’s toughest cancer, starting with earlier diagnosis. The annual one-day campaign is an initiative of the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition, which is comprised of more than 60 organizations from 27 countries on six continents.
Every day, more than 1,000 people worldwide will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Of that, an estimated 985 will die from the disease. Additionally, pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate among all major cancers, and in nearly every country, it is the only major cancer with a single-digit five-year survival rate (2-9 percent). These stunning figures are not merely statistics, they represent family members, friends and colleagues on every corner of the globe.
“This year, we are turning World Pancreatic Cancer Day from a day of awareness to a day of action,” said Julie Fleshman, JD, MBA, World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition chair. “As we expand our global movement to end pancreatic cancer, we are demanding better for pancreatic cancer patients now and in the future.”

In early July, leading vitamin and supplement brand Sundown Naturals® completed their three month cross-country Sundown Naturals® 100% Goodness Tour. The 100% Goodness Tour, which celebrated the simple goodness in life, kicked-off in April at the WTHR Health EXPO in Indianapolis, IN and made its final stop in Dallas, TX with 23 stops in between.
At each location, attendees sampled Sundown Naturals® Gummies and were invited to #sharethegoodness and contribute to a cross-country photo mural displaying what makes them feel good, whether that be a beautiful day, friends, a meal or a pet. A team of “Goodness Gurus” were also on-site sharing ways to focus on wellness through nutrition, fitness, mindfulness or cultivating joy in daily life.
