In November 2016 LAPR&D participated for the first time in the Pancreatic Cancer “Turn it Purple” campaign. We obtained the fantastic support of Southampton City Council, the O2 Guildhall and Southampton FC who all turned their buildings purple for a week to help raise awareness of this underfunded and little understood disease of pancreatic cancer.
During the week over 160 people visited our stand in the foyer of Southampton City Council. Charity volunteers and medical experts from Southampton University Hospital, many of whom are involved in our research programmes, discussed the disease and explained what we were doing to try to understand it better and improve outcomes for patients. We would like to thank everyone who stopped by, donated, listened, signed up to our newsletter, agreed to take collection boxes and who liked our Facebook page as a result of the campaign.
Our social media posts during the campaign reach over 9,000 people which ensure that we well and truly reached our objective to raise awareness.
