Andrew, was a dedicated family man, husband, dad, and grandad. Always active, healthy, and a devoted business owner, he passed away in December 2025, just 7 weeks after his diagnosis. It felt completely unfair how quickly this disease took hold.

Just two weeks before we received his diagnosis, Dad was beaming with pride, celebrating the grand reopening of Browns Food Stores and his newly redeveloped forecourt site alongside his business partner and son, Harry—the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to a legacy built over 60 years.

This disease is mercilessly fast. Dad died on the day he was due to start treatment. This is just not good enough. We have set our fundraising goal at £10,000—to honour his life and fight for early detection.

Why We Are Fundraising

Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. We must demand more than awareness; we need better, more accessible testing to catch it in time. We need more than hope.

Our Support

Pancreatic Cancer UK were there for us when we first received the diagnosis. They sent out information leaflets relating to the specific stage my dad had been diagnosed with, we chatted to the specialist clinical nurses over the phone, and we found support through the Circles WhatsApp group.

Our Goal

We pledge to raise £10,000 for Pancreatic Cancer UK to help fund vital research and support for families facing this devastating disease.
