In memory of Mandy Blake
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
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.

Story

In May 2013 my amazing family presented me with a list of 50 challenges that I had to do before I turned 50 the following year. These challenges have varied but they have all been things that I have never done before. My list of challenges does keep changing as friends and family make suggestions and as my level of bravery has grown. I never thought I would ever abseil the Spinnaker Tower, yet here I am doing just that. This challenge will be epic as I am petrified of heights. 

But I don't intend to peak with that. During 2104 I also intend to run the Eastleigh 10k also in March with my work colleagues and I'm going to swim a mile of the beautiful Cornish coast in August. The management of Spinnaker Tower have also kindly agreed to support me by letting me dance on bubble wrap in a VERY public place to include within my list of achievements!!!!

But to make these challenges totally worth while, I am going to raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund in memory of my sister.  She was taken too early and I want to help others find a treatment.  One of my challenges is to raise £1,000 for charity. So, here I go. Please help me to help others and to hit 50 in style by completing my 50 challenges.
