Living with pancreatitis is hard. Having people around who make the effort to understand and show up for you makes a real difference.
Share this with someone who has been in your corner, and add something you've received from your support systems in the comments. 💙

Last week, our board met for our 2026 annual meeting, a chance to reflect on how far we've come and chart the path ahead. We're at a pivotal moment, with growing momentum across pancreatitis research and patient programs. Grateful for the leaders helping guide this work forward.

When you've had a pancreatitis flare or attack, can you get your lipase or amylase drawn without waiting for a new doctor's order, or did you need to go back to your care team first?
Drop YES, NO, or NOT SURE below 💙👇

Flares don't check your schedule. Fatigue doesn't wait for a convenient time.
It's okay if today looks different than planned. Be kind to yourself 💙

Living with pancreatitis can mean holding a lot of mixed feelings at once, sometimes all on the same day. There's no "right" way to feel. It’s a bit like learning to surf the rough waves!
Which one resonates the most? Or, you can also share your own mixed bunch👇💙

Some days, just getting through is enough. But if you've found something that helps, a small reset, a comfort, a routine, a ritual, a prayer, we'd love to hear it.
What do you do to recharge on or after hard days? 👇💙

Amanda spent months being misdiagnosed before learning she had chronic pancreatitis.
“I found Mission: Cure while I was in a very dark place during my battle with pancreatitis. It helped knowing that I wasn’t alone"

#MondayMotivation: Mondays can come with pressure to “reset” or “catch up.”
But with pancreatitis, some weeks start with symptoms, fatigue, appointments, or just trying to feel okay.
If today is a “keep it simple” day, you’re not failing, you’re listening to your body. 💙
