Chris Devey is raising money for Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund
“Christopher Devey's fundraising”

on 3 November 2009

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
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

You may or may not know that my mum, Linda is not very well at the moment, she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, this is the worst of all types of cancer and is known as the silent killer due to going unnoticed until its advanced stages.

I hope to make the most of the remaining time I have left with my mother and to support her and my dad, and the rest of my family as much as I can.

One way I can do this is to raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund. I'm not going to run a half marathon nor do a sponsored non-speak for a week (altought some of you may like that...!), but I would like you all to just donate, however little in support for Linda, and to provide further reseach for this cancer.

Forty years ago few children survived childhood leukaemia
Now the survival rate is 80%

Forty years ago only 46% of women diagnosed with breast cancer survived five years or more
Now that figure is also 80%

Forty years ago 3% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survived five years or more
That figure is still 3%

Please donate!
