On Sunday 11th October I am taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon in aid of Pancreatic Cancer UK

As I know from my daughter’s PhD research into this awful disease the survival rates for those diagnosed are stubbornly low . Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more.

Pancreatic Cancer UK are working hard to bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through their expert nurses. But there is a lot more that needs to be done and that’s why I have decided to put myself through the challenge of taking part in this Event to raise awareness of this terrible illness and through the generosity of my friends raise more funds to support the research PCUK are looking to continue so that one day there might be more than hope for sufferers. Please give generously but any amount - however small - will be grateful accepted both by me and this wonderful Charity. Thank you for reading my story
