💜 ANZAC DAY 2024 💜

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Today, and everyday, we commemorate and honour the sacrifice made by the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) through wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. As the ANZAC spirit continues to unite Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, let us remember those past and present, who have given their lives for their country, affording us the protection and safety we have today.

Lest we forget.

💜 Today is WORLD PANCREATIC CANCER DAY 💜

This is the day to turn our world purple! To wear something purple and share stories, awareness and knowledge about Pancreatic Cancer!

More than 600 people will be diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in New Zealand this year. The symptoms that people experience are often vague- to know of the symptoms and risk factors!

Today especially, let us support and remember those who are currently living with Pancreatic Cancer, those who survived it or lost the battle and the families and Whānau that are standing by their sides.

Spreading awareness, supporting and funding research and advocating for those living with Pancreatic Cancer will help improve the quality of life of those affected by it, as well as increasing outcomes overall.

The ASPERT Research Team are working on a number of projects to better understand how PERT is being prescribed in those with Pancreatic Cancer, which will inform what changes can be made to improve this access for all people with Pancreatic Cancer.

The New Zealand Gut Cancer Foundation are hosting an online Webinar next week (22/11/22) with Dietitian Helen Brown and Dr Amanda Landers (both from the ASPERT team).This is a great opportunity to explore what happens after a diagnosis or Pancreatic Cancer, how this affects diet and nutrition, the importance of PERT and the role of support in these domains!
