Story

Pancreatic Cancer Action are a national charity dedicated to saving lives by improving early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and the quality of patient survival. 

I’m Abbie & I’m 15 , I’ll be shaving my head to raise money for pancreatic cancer action 

When I was 5, My Granda Dennis unfortunately passed away due to pancreatic cancer in the tail of his pancreas which is the rare form.

Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose, it has such a small survival rate yet with so little funding. 40 years ago, the survival rate  for pancreatic cancer over 5 years was 3%. Today, it is still 3%. With help from others , we can all make a difference.
