Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I will be taking part in the Great North Run for Pete's Pancreas Project.

In November 2011 Pete was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer at the age of 62, a month into his retirement. He underwent major surgery on 15th December at the Freeman Hospital Newcastle, to have this removed, along with his spleen.

Pete’s Pancreas Project in conjunction with the research team at the specialist HPB surgical centre at the Freeman Hospital Newcastle aim to:

  • Set up a UK registry of ACC based at the Freeman Hospital.
  • Collect retrospective and prospective demographic, treatment and outcome data of patients with a diagnosis of ACC
  • Facilitate the movement of histological tissue samples from other specialist centres to the Freeman Hospital for analysis

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
