What a beautiful way to kick off the 2026 Sky Movement. 💜

Thank you to everyone who joined us at LegaSea Aquarium & Grant Park to walk, connect, honor loved ones, and stand together for pancreatic cancer awareness and research.

Because of this incredible community, we’ve already raised over $22,000 toward our $50,000 goal — and we’re just getting started.

This movement continues all year long through team fundraisers, third-party events, and community support across Michigan and beyond.

Thank you for moving this mission forward with us. Let’s keep the momentum going. 💜

Red Flag: New or Worsening Diabetes

A sudden diabetes diagnosis—especially after age 50—or unexplained blood sugar changes can be an early clue. Your pancreas controls insulin. If you notice unexpected shifts in blood sugar or metabolic health, don’t wait to talk to your doctor.

Today is Clinical Trials Awareness Day 💜

Every treatment available today once began as a clinical trial. Clinical trials are not a last resort — they are a critical part of advancing pancreatic cancer treatment, prevention, early detection, and hope for future patients and families.

That’s why Sky Foundation partnered with TriCan Health to create our free educational webinar series: 🎥 *Clinical Trials Explained: Know Your Options*

Together, we’re helping patients, caregivers, and families better understand:
✔ What clinical trials really are
✔ How to find them
✔ What enrollment looks like
✔ Prevention & genetic studies
✔ Michigan-based opportunities
✔ Real patient experiences

One of the biggest lessons from this series:
👉 You still receive treatment in clinical trials.
👉 Patients should ask about trials EARLY.

Thank you to all researchers, physicians, advocates, survivors, caregivers, and patients helping move pancreatic cancer research forward every single day.
