In memory of Seth Goodburn

Great North Run 2016 · 11 September 2016 ·

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

Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running this half marathon in memory of Seth Goodburn. I never actually met Seth but I have since come to know his lovely Wife Lesley and this is a little of their story:

Lesley tragically lost her Husband Seth in 2014 just 33 days after he received a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Previous to this the couple had exciting plans and had booked a holiday to China to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary and also both of their 50th birthdays. Sadly Seth never got to go. Lesley went to China alone and took a little part of Seth with her... a tiny amount of his ashes which she scattered at the highest point of the Great Wall. Lesley now dedicates her life to fundraising in memory of her lovely Seth and I would love to help her achieve her goal of £49000 - that's £1000 for every year of Seth's short life.!  

I would really appreciate your support and donations to help fund research into a disease that has the most dreadful statistics


•One year survival rate 19%
•Five year survival rate 5%
•Ten year survival rate 1%
•5th most common cancer killer
•10th most common cancer
•45% of people are diagnosed at A and E because the symptoms are often vague
•The survival rates have not improved in the last forty years
•24 people die every day from pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic Cancer - Know it. Fight it. End it.


Thank you so much!
