We research early diagnosis and treatments to beat pancreatic cancer.

Story

I have walked from Hertfordshire House to Oxford,to raise awareness of Pancreatic Cancer Research.My Darling Husband David died of this terrible "silent killer" last year.I miss him a great deal ,but I felt he walked with me!I am proud to support this important charity.It has no obvious symptoms,,difficult to diagnose,and nigh on impossible to treat.By raising money for the research,others could have a future.I finished today,after 40 miles- at Christchurch College,where David Studied and was a place he loved.Just because I have done the walk,doesn't make the horror of this Cancer go away,with your help I will continue to try and help future patients.I am now in Cape Town.I will walk from Diep River,where David died,to Kalk Bay,where his Grandfather landed,by mistake,in about 1890 which I have now had to put on hold for the moment.All best wishes,Diana xxx

Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is the only national charity dedicated solely to beating pancreatic cancer through research. Survival rates are low, so new research is vital. In the past, this cancer received little attention. With your help, we can change this so more people beat pancreatic cancer.
