It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with the deadliest common cancer die within three months. That’s why they need and deserve more. More research, more funding, more breakthroughs. More than hope. Together we’ll make that possible.

Story

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.

My first challenge this year was a Reading Marathon, all 26 Jack Reacher - Lee Child books read by the end of May.  ( I'm also reading to my children so that would account for more then the 0.2 marathon  miles).  This challenge is hard as I'm also working, writing and being mum.. 

Since 13th December 2021.  I have read, 1. Killing Floor.  2. Die Trying  3. Trip wire   4. The visitors. 5. Echo Burning. 6. Without Fail  7. Persuader 8. The Enemy. 9. One Shot  10. The hard way.  11.  Bad luck and trouble. 12. Nothing to lose. 13. Gone Tomorrow 14. 61 hours .15. Worth dying for. 16 The affair. 17. A Wanted man 18. Never go back. 19. Personal.  20. Make me, 21  Night School.  22. The Midnight Line  23 Past Tense 24. Blue Moon.  25. The Sentinel 26. Better off dead.    All 26 books read  by 12.52am - 4th April 2022, so  read in under 4 months.  .

The 0.2 of my reading Marathon is my 27th Jack Reacher book - Lee Child - No middle name, Jack Reacher short stories completed 11th April 2022.

My stats have estimated about -  13 hours reading per book, so over 351 hours reading -  27 books in just  4 months.  It has been many years since I have read 27 books in a year, under 4 months, for me, is alot of reading.

I am also aiming to walk over 1000 miles again, with over 500 miles with Joshua and Rebekah
