Mindy Kaling is lending her voice to the fight against pancreatic cancer. The 42-year-old actress, writer and producer is starring in a new PSA from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network encouraging fans to join her for the PanCAN PurpleStride — an event to help end the disease — on April 30.
The event is being held in nearly 60 different communities across the country and those interested in participating can register for free.
Kaling is the official brand ambassador. The cause is close to the mother of two's heart as she lost her own mother, Swati Roysircar, to pancreatic cancer in 2012, eight months after her diagnosis. “This is a battle I never thought I’d fight… If we work as a team, pancreatic cancer patients won’t just survive, but thrive,” Kaling says in her PSA.
Celebrities and political figures who have recently died of pancreatic cancer include Alex Trebek, Willie Garson, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and John Lewis.
