Great North Run 2016 · 11 September 2016 ·
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!
