It will be a HUGE challenge and the reason we are taking it on is we recently lost one of our colleagues, Andrew John to Pancreatic Cancer. This is a horrible illness that mostly goes undetected until it is too late. Its not the first time this has affected someone close. Another colleague Claire John lost her mum Jenny to the same illness.
We want to try and raise funds to help create more awareness and research into identifying and stopping Pancreatic Cancer.
We would be greatful of any donations to our fundraiser!!!
We now want to get to £4167 and with Tesco topping up our total by 20%, this would make a grand total of a staggering £5000!!!!!!!
Hopefully we can bring the medals home on June the 4th 2019!!!
