<p>Three years ago my mother died from pancreatic cancer. Since then, I've met many people whose relatives have all succumbed to this pernicious disease.</p> <p>I have yet to meet anyone, (and sadly I've met quite a few) with a relative or friend diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, who is able to tell a story of survival.</p> <p>It seems Steve Jobs is on his own. &nbsp;Maybe an Apple a day does help!</p> <p>The survival rate is a paltry 3%................yes, that's right......3%!!!</p> <p>Maybe the scientists will never crack this one, but we've got to give them a chance. &nbsp;Donating to this cause will fund much needed research into this complex and ruthless cancer.</p> <p>Dig as deep as you can. &nbsp;I know we're all knackered and broke and that the pressures of the recession bear down on us all, but do your best and I will promise you an Olympian display to be proud of. (Think Eric the Eel rather than Ian Thorpedo)</p> <p>Since I'm a 60's child it seems wholly appropriate to sign off thus:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Peace.</p>
