Emily's Road to Half Marathon for Pancreatic Cancer UK

Emily Westgarth is raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK

Great North Run 2026 · 13 September 2026 ·

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

This year, I'm on road to a half marathon in support of Pancreatic Cancer UK. Training for this is going to be biggest challenge of my life. Being scared of dogs really restricts my ability to run outdoors, but I'm determined. It's that determination (and a whole lot of craziness) why I've signed up to 6 10ks and 2 half marathons in 2026, all for a vital cause, and in memory of an incredible lady, Meriet Watts.

- Wickersley 10k - March

- Yorkshire Wildlife Park 10k - April

- Chesterfield 10k - May

- Barnsley 10k - June

- York 10k - August

- Great North Run Half Marathon - September

- Rotherham 10k - September

- Manchester Half Marathon - October

The Manchester Half will be last run of year, and I will be crossing finish line with my wonderful friend, and Meriet's daughter, Victoria.

By supporting my challenge and Pancreatic Cancer UK, you are helping to fund meaningful change; the research that will deliver better treatments, improved survival rates, and provide expert support for people affected by pancreatic cancer.
