Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Almost 9000 people a year currently die each of Pancreatic Cancer in the UK. In January 2018, my husband was one of them. Just 5% survive at present. Earlier diagnosis would mean a life-saving operation is possible for far more. All proceeds will go to Pancreatic Cancer UK (charity) specifically to improve early diagnosis.

I loved my husband Dave very much, as did our kids Chris and Sam, family, our local rural community and his many friends. He was kind, generous, funny, gentle, healthy and tall (6ft 7inches), active and as strong as an ox. He died just 5 months after diagnosis, 7 stone lighter, weak and needing a lot of (very loving) help. He had been to the GP several times in the months before diagnosis with abdominal pain but it was put down to “constipation”.

If the cancer had been spotted earlier he could have had an operation that would have saved him. Please help to save the lives of others so that they survive and their loved ones do not end up without their husband / wife / father / mother. At Dave’s funeral, £850 was very kindly given to help this cause. Please help us to now make it £2000. 

I will be giving all my earnings for the next week to the charity. My kids are selling some of their belongings for the same cause. Please help us by giving as little or as much as you are able to.

Our humble thanks to you for your kindness and I sincerely hope this horrible disease never visits you or anyone you care about. All the very best to you, Karen x
