Story
In February, my life was turned upside down when my wonderful mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It came completely out of the blue with no symptoms until it was too late to remove. It is a swift, cruel cancer and has devastated us all, including my mum. We need more awareness and swifter diagnosis and treatment. Me and my family are taking part in this fundraising event to help raise money to fund research and raise vital awareness.
The challenge is to walk, run, or cycle 24 miles in May to highlight the heart-breaking statistic that every day in the UK, 24 people die from pancreatic cancer.
Any donation, however small, will be gratefully received. Thank you.
"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."
