Depuis sa création, cette organisation de base est devenue une société caritative nationale reconnue pour ses campagnes nationales d’éducation et de sensibilisation et pour son soutien aux patients et aux soignants. De plus, grà¢ce à  nos efforts de collecte de fonds, nous soutenons les chercheurs sur le cancer du pancréas de tout le Canada. Pour y parvenir, nous avons littéralement parcouru des montagnes à  vélo, marché pendant des kilomètres, sauté des quais et illuminé la nuit avec des feux d’artifice.

La Craig’s Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society a été créée en 2006 après le décès de Craig Schurman Condon à  l’à¢ge de 63 ans, huit semaines après le diagnostic. Nous avons quatre piliers qui guident l’ensemble de notre travail : Sensibilisation, éducation, recherche et soutien. Chacun de nos projets est axé sur un ou plusieurs de ces piliers. Nous nous réjouissons de nos nombreux événements de sensibilisation à  l’automne, de notre campagne nationale d’éducation des médecins, de notre initiative de banque de connaissances pour la recherche et de nos programmes permanents de soutien aux patients.

Travailler avec la WPCC a été formidable. Nous obtenons un soutien et la possibilité de collaborer avec des organisations du monde entier. Pour chaque nouveau projet, nous cherchons à  savoir si des organisations ont pu faire quelque chose de similaire et peuvent offrir leurs conseils.

La carte des ressources qui a été créée nous permet également d’orienter les patients vers les ressources dont ils ont besoin, où qu’ils vivent.

Nous attendons déjà  avec impatience la Floride 2018 !

TEB e.V. Selbsthilfe was founded in Germany by Katharina Stang in 2006.

TEB e.V. Selbsthilfe was founded by Katharina Stang in 2006 with the aim of providing support to people with pancreatic diseases and their loved ones, as well as education, advice and assistance for their condition. The German acronym “TEB” stands for “Tumors and diseases of the pancreas.” For more than 10 years, Chairwoman Katharina Stang has led the group, which is based in Ludwigsburg but active throughout the country. She works closely with a scientific advisory board of leading German gastroenterologists and oncologists.

Helping those affected by pancreatic diseases and their loved ones through personal contact and information is a top priority for Stang and her team. “We listen — We help — We advise — We accompany — We support”: These guiding principles sum up TEB’s efforts, which are distinguished by a range of offers and initiatives. The patient organization’s key activities include regular group meetings, educational events, brochures, counsel sessions for relatives, seminars for doctors and patients, expert medical advice via phone, hospital visits and social activities such as cooking sessions and workshops with those affected. The group also provides multiple materials such as info folders, leaflets and a regularly published member magazine, which nicely complement the TEB websites.

TEB e.V. Selbsthilfe holds group meetings for people affected by pancreatic cancer.

From the very beginning, TEB has been actively engaged within the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition (WPCC) and contributed to the inaugural launch of the World Pancreatic Cancer Day. “2017 is the fourth year we are organizing this global awareness day. Together, we have forged the most important initiative for boosting awareness and education on a global scale,” Stang said. “We are proud to represent Germany within the Coalition and appreciate the interaction with other national groups, as well as the knowledge that we are all fighting for the same cause: to improve pancreatic cancer treatment through research and education — and to hopefully one day find a cure.”
