This month the Banerjees are taking on a family walking challenge. We are joining others aiming to walk at least 30k in November, although the children are insisting on walking as far as we can, estimates vary so we will keep you posted. Given that the youngest member of our team is only 2 we will take whatever we can manage.

We are raising money for Pancreatic Cancer because one of my very close friends from school succumbed to this horrendous disease 5 years ago. Leanne fought hard to raise awareness and funds in the short time that she had following her diagnosis. She lost the chance to see her daughter grow up. I couldn't give her a single extra day but I will never forget her and this is a small tribute in her honour.

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. Survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers, yet for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case.

Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to taking on this injustice using every possible means. They're supporting people with pancreatic cancer now, campaigning, and funding vital research to transform the future. Help them to make the breakthroughs that people with pancreatic cancer so desperately need.
