Once again partaking in Lycra who knew Lycra stretches that much as some comedian pointed out last year.

This cancer is very dear to my heart, and the participants of the ride are the surgeons, consultants, doctors and super nurses whom all go far above and beyond oh and three of us ex-patients.

All the money we raise goes to research into pancreatic and liver cancer, there is no middle men taking a cut. You give a pound they get a pound.

This cancer needs your support as it's one of the most deadly forms of cancer and the survival rate is so poor.

Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease affecting 8-9000 people each year in the UK. Sadly one person dies of pancreatic cancer every hour, and only 5% of patients live for five years or more after diagnosis. Unfortunately due to its late presentation currently over 80% of people are not diagnosed until the disease is advanced at which point there are very few treatment options and only 10-20% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer can go on to have potentially curative surgery.

The Leicester HPB unit are raising money to support the research being done in Leicester for the benefit of patients all over the country.

Organising studies and analysing samples to help us learn and understand the processes involved in the development and resistance of cancers is very expensive and as a consequence we need to find ways of raising money to ensure that this vital work can continue.

This is a devastating illness, we need to find a test that can detect this cancer at an early stage.

if we are lucky enough to receive your donation, when you donate a fee will come up for just giving, this is an algorithm. Please bypass that and click onto the "enter custom amount" which will be a lot more favourable.
