Winter Challenge Walk · 27 January 2008

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with the deadliest common cancer die within three months. That’s why they need and deserve more. More research, more funding, more breakthroughs. More than hope. Together we’ll make that possible.

Story

WINTER MADNESS: WE STILL NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET!

Paula Kennedy and Lesley Sixsmith did the “Ridgeway Winter Challenge” on Saturday 2nd Feb, walking the full 25 miles through S Oxfordshire in just over eight hours!  We had a great day out and would like to say a big thank-you to everyone who sponsored us so generously. And if you didn't manage to get to this page before the event,   it's not too late!  You can still donate via the links here. 

WHY?   We are supporting Pancreatic Cancer UK, a charity set up by our friend Sue whose husband died of the disease. So if you haven't done so already, please sponsor us – your generosity can make a difference!

DID YOU KNOW?  Pancreatic cancer statistics make grim reading. It’s very hard to diagnose early on. Many victims survive for only a few months after diagnosis. And the number still alive five years later is below 5% - the lowest survival rate of all cancers in the UK. (Comparable survival rates for breast cancer in women run at 77% and 95% for testicular cancer).

Pancreatic Cancer UK http://www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk/ is committed to helping fund research to fight pancreatic cancer as well as tackling awareness of the disease and providing a national support network.  

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Pancreatic Cancer UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
