Pancreatic Cancer Action is the only UK charity dedicated to saving lives through early diagnosis. Pancreatic cancer is the 5th biggest cancer killer and the 10th most common cancer in the UK. In the UK, 93% of all patients die within 5 years of diagnosis.

Your vital support means we can continue to raise awareness of the symptoms to ensure early diagnosis and enable life-saving treatment. To find out more and to support our vital work, visit panact.org

3 a bit years on since we lost my beautiful mum it is still as hard as ever, but we are soldiering on just like she did and making her proud. I know she will be.

I’ve now completed the Edinburgh half marathon twice to raise money for pancreatic cancer action, and each time I thought I could never think of doing that all again and running a marathon. But, this year I’ve decided to up the stakes and will be running the full marathon. It will be tough, it will be sore, but what will keep me going is the thought that it is not near as bad as what my mum and many others had to suffer and endure.

So I hope you will join me in helping make a change for this terrible disease.
