This is my Mum. She died of Pancreatic Cancer on the 4 November 2006.
In the prime of her life, at the age of 65, she was told she only had weeks to live. Tragically a short 16 weeks later she died leaving behind two daughters and a grandchild.
Over the past year I have also lost my dear friend Susan Hobbs who, following a courageous battle with Cancer lost her life on 15 August 2010. She was 42.
This devastating story has become an all too common one affecting many families in today’s society.
For this reason I have put together a team of 6 to undertake the challenge of swimming the English Channel with the aim of fund raising £50,000 to support the vital work of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Charity (no. 1103253) http://www.pcrf.org.uk
Limited research funding in the past has contributed to the current survival rate of those diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer being only 3%, this figure has not improved in 40 years. Please help us to reduce the devastating effects that this disease has on people’s lives by donating whatever you can.
Thank you very, very much for your support from Anna and the team AKA 'The Pancrequatics'!
