Our family has been heartbroken by my mum's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in February this year.  Myself, my sister and dad want to do what we can to channel something positive from the devastating news. We plan to involve the four grandchildren (Leo, Bruno, Rosa and Margo) in this fundraising effort as well. By taking part in this fundraiser, to walk and cycle 24 miles in May, I hope to contribute in some small way improving research and treatments for this awful disease. Any small donation would be gratefully received.

As the charity says, "It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. Survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers, yet for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case. Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to taking on this injustice using every possible means. They're supporting people with pancreatic cancer now, campaigning, and funding vital research to transform the future. Help them to make the breakthroughs that people with pancreatic cancer so desperately need."
