As many of you know our dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2012. Following a major operation and 6 months of chemo he was back on his feet, and 2 years later ran his first marathon at 71 years old!! So we figured if he can do it, we can too (we think). Dad is again fighting this incredibly aggressive cancer, research into which receives such little funding.

Pancreatic cancer receives just 0.8% of cancer research funding, despite just a 2-4% survival rate beyond 5 years. In addition to this Abraxane, a drug which has had some success in treating advanced pancreatic cancer, was recently taken off the NHS due to cost.

We not only want to raise money to support research into pancreatic cancer and other families in our position, but also to raise awareness of this cancer and the lack of funding and support it receives nationally.
