London Marathon 2018 · 22 April 2018 ·

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

OK, here goes... until a week ago I had no idea what pancreatic cancer was. I certainly didn’t understand how it hides itself away until it’s too late, crippling the person it’s played a viscous game of hide and seek with.

80 percent of people with pancreatic cancer will not survive beyond a year.

My grandad was diagnosed with it last week... the days since have been heartbreaking... and unfortunately he passed away on Thursday. 

While I know he wouldn’t have wanted a fuss, people have been asking me which charity I’m running the London Marathon for this weekend... I didn’t have one... BUT it feels rather fitting to now raise whatever I can for PCUK... to help with research into this cruel, unforgiving cancer. 

I will be thinking of grandad Ted every single step of the 26 miles on Sunday... and I sure as hell will be having a drink for him afterwards! (It still won’t be bitter though grandad, sorry!)

Thanks for reading and donating.

It means a lot!
