I will be running the Leeds Marathon and my Dad will be running the Leeds Half Marathon. This will be in honour of my mother, Bernice Bateman; our hero and inspiration.

We hope to raise as much money as possible for Pancreatic Cancer U.K. (who offered Mum support during her diagnosis). Mum was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer in August 2021. Mum bravely faced an 18 month tough & eventful cancer battle, and devastatingly passed in March 2023 to this awful disease.

Pancreatic Cancer is the 5th most common cause of cancer death in the U.K. and sadly 50% of people die within the first three months of diagnosis. Donations could help with the following:

-Fund research to help early diagnosis

-Help specialist nurses provide support

-Fund research on further treatments

The above could potentially lead to earlier treatment & improved outcomes.

Thank you for your support & taking the time to visit this page.
