Mama Pia!


The epitome of strength and positivity is Pia Miller. Her capacity to find good in the worst situation is inspirational.
Pia first knowledge of Pancreatic Cancer came the year prior to her diagnosis when her cousin's husband got the news no one wants to hear. In January of 2006, Pia felt a brief shooting nerve pain, and deep down thought to herself that this is Pancreatic Cancer. She didn't tell anyone, but after regular appointments and an intuitive doctors last minute question, she had an ultra-sound which proved her initial thought to be true.
Since recovery, Pia has dedicated mostly all of her time to Pancreatic Cancer Awareness efforts...she does allow some time for painting, Pia was an art teacher in Bucks County for 27 years.
Pia started the Purple Stride Awareness walk with the PanCan Philadelphia affiliate in 2007, and also holds an educator/outreach position.
Please join us to see more of Pia's and other stories November 22nd 2-6pm, at the Film Tech School, 2019 S. Juniper St. 2nd FloorPhiladelphia, PA 19148.
