Five words I didn't know

charity: caritat
involved: involucrar
awareness: consciència
(survival) rate: taxa de supervivència
sparked: provocar

Summary:

Kerry Harvey was diagnosed in April 2013 had a pancreatic cancer and she said that she would prefered breast, or cervical cancer.  She was who star to rate awareness about this type of cancer and the survival rate is camely 3%, much lower than the others.
The charity Pancreatic Cancer Action said that Ms Harvey was dead.
The patients and familiars were involved in a campaign to rate awareness of this cancer, because it's de most deadly.

Personal Opinion:

I know that it was a short news, but when I read it I thought It was so interesting because we speak habitually about breast cancer or cervical cancer so we know a sight more about these, but in spite of this if you ask someone whats a pancreatic cancer I can bet that the vast majority won't answer right and it's important to know this type of things, so you never know what can happen in the future, we have to be aware of the danger.
