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

I am running the London marathon in memory of our lovely friend, Harry. He was taken far too early in October 2014 aged 39, leaving behind his beautiful wife & soulmate Asha, three gorgeous children aged 2, 4 & 5, his sister & parents & the largest collection of family & friends I have ever had the privilege of meeting.  Harry was the loveliest man you could ever hope to meet, his smile & the sound of his laugh would light up the largest of rooms the second he walked in.  A truly lovely man missed by so so many. 

This is a horrendous disease.  It destroys families, has the lowest survival rates of any of the cancers, and research into it is under-funded. 

Your donation will directly fund innovative research to help make a breakthrough on prevention and treatment of Pancreatic Cancer.

Because it doesn't usually give rise to any signs or symptoms in the early stages -  it's often diagnosed late, reducing the chances of being able to kick it. The survival rate is only 4% and it receives less than 1% of cancer research spend.

Pancreatic Cancer UK is the only national charity fighting cancer on all fronts - support, information, campaigning and research. Their goal is to double the survival rates within 5 years.Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
