Jean's fundraiser for Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund

Jean Hudson is raising money for Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund
In memory of Neil, David, Mick, Ian, Mary

Walking the Pilgrim Way from Rochester to Canterbury · 9 June 2025

Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is the only national charity dedicated solely to beating pancreatic cancer through research. Survival rates are low, so new research is vital. In the past, this cancer received little attention. With your help, we can change this so more people beat pancreatic cancer.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Pancreatic Cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of any cancer, just 3%, as it hides itself in the body until its too late. The causes are still not understood. The only way to defeat it is through research which requires funding.

My husband Neil, died in 2012, only three months after diagnonsis. He was a university professor, actively involved in research right up to the end.

Sadly, he was not the first member of my family to succumb to it. Previously my Aunt Mary and her son Ian, my cousin also died. Since then I've lost my brother, David and during the pandemic, my cousin Nicky's husband Mick also died. In total that is FIVE close members of my family.

It is for this reason that along with three very good friends, Joan, Ian and Sue I'm walking along the Pilgrim Way from Rochester to Canterbury.

The only way to defeat this terrible disease is by research, so please suffort us by sponsoring us.The proceeds will go to Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund,

Thank you

Jean, Joan, Ian and Sue.
