Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am running the London Marathon on 25th April 2010 for Pancreatic Cancer.
After much thought and consideration I have decided to run for Development of Pancreatic Cancer(DPCR) as it is the 5th most common cause of cancer deaths and has the highest rate of all cancers, yet only receives 1% of research funding. it is a silent killer and is particularly difficult to detect and by the time a diagnosis is made more often the cancer is too advanced to treat, which can leave the patient with an average survival time of a mere 6 months. The survival rate of Pancreatic Cancer of 5 years and more is only 3% (the same statistic as 40 years ago.)
Development of Pancreatic Cancer is a newly formed local charity and by working in conjunction with Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund hope to make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for all of your financial support, it is greatly appreciated.
