“Purple Light” Vigil in Anchorage
The Anchorage Pancreatic Cancer Action Network honored those who lost their lives to pancreatic cancer, those living with the disease, and survivors

Candles were supposed to be used, but because of the cold weather they used glow sticks instead. It’s a small vigil, advocates say, to help shed light on this deadly disease.
