Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is 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.

Story

<p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">Dear All</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">Having run marathons before (Louise - 3, Ollie - 1), we have decided to challenge ourselves to running two marathons in consecutive weekends, being&nbsp;Brighton Marathon&nbsp;on 15 April and London Marathon&nbsp;on 22 April 2012.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">The challenge is in aid of raising money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, which suddenly&nbsp;took the life of Ollie's Dad less than 18 months ago just 10 weeks after first falling ill.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all cancers &ndash; just 3% of those diagnosed survive for five years. It is also the only cancer that has seen no improvement in this figure over the last 40 years.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">In 2007, Pancreatic Cancer attracted just 1.6% of all research funding.</span><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">We would like to support this charity to ensure that the much needed research continues into this field of the disease.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">Any donations are warmly welcomed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #0000ff; line-height: 20px;">Ollie &amp; Louise</span></p>
