We are thrilled to share that Governor Tony Evers has issued an official proclamation declaring August as Appendix Cancer Awareness Month in Wisconsin.

This incredible milestone was made possible through the dedicated advocacy of Deborah Stalsberg, a patient, volunteer, and proud Wisconsin resident. Her efforts led to ACPMP’s first-ever statewide proclamation, creating a strong precedent for future recognition in other states.

We are deeply grateful to Deborah for her leadership and commitment to raising awareness. Together, steps like this bring greater visibility to appendix cancer and help ensure patients and families get the recognition and support they deserve.
