Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am running to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund after my mother-in-law (Audrey) died in June this year. As a family we learnt a lot about cancer whilst Audrey was ill - 1 in 3 people are directly affected by cancer in their life time.

Pancreatic cancer is the 5th most common cause of cancer death in the UK, but has the lowest survival rate of all cancers. There is no early detection test, treatment is limited and there is no cure.

Survival rates have barely improved in the last 40 years. Pancreatic cancer causes 5% of cancer deaths but only receives 1% of cancer research funding. This needs to increase - so please sponsor me now !

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

About the charity

Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1155322
Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is the only national charity 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.
