In 2012, I tragically lost my grandma to Pancreatic Cancer. Her loss rippled through the family and she left a huge hole in the world which her big heart filled.

The Event!

WANdisco & Friends plan to cycle from Morecambe Bay to Bridlington - 170 miles from West coast to East coast within a 3 day period, taking in B&B's on the way and averaging over 50 miles a day. It's a challenging route climbing to 1500ft on day1 across the Yorkshire Dales, we'll need to train before the event...it'll be a tough challenge but certainly for a worthwhile cause:

Whats the dosh for?!

Each year over 8,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It is the fifth most common cause of cancer death, causing five percent of all cancer deaths each year.

Lowest survival rate

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all cancers – just 3% of those diagnosed survive for five years. It is also the only cancer that has seen no improvement in this figure over the last 40 years.

Overall, half of all those diagnosed with a cancer now survive for five years or more. For many cancers, five year survival rates have increased hugely since the 1970s. For breast cancer – where large amounts have been spent on research – five year survival rates have increased from 50% to 80%.

Yet despite its high death rate and lack of improvement in chances of survival, pancreatic cancer attracts little research funding in comparison with many other cancers.

Why we need you!

To date, Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund has supported 21 research projects with grants totalling £3 million - all through fundraising and donations. This isn't enough! Hopefully, our awareness can help to change that.

So please dig deep and donate now.
