Running Manchester Marathon, in memory of Pippa, for Pancreatic Cancer UK

Matthew Durrant is raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK
In memory of Pippa Durrant

adidas Manchester Marathon 2026 · 19 April 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 April, I am running my first marathon, in memory of my beloved and much missed Mother-in-Law Pippa Durrant, fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

If you’re reading this, there is every chance you knew Pippa - knew her endless empathy, knew her dry wit, knew her ability to warm up each and every room that she entered.

Over a few short months in 2025, Pippa was diagnosed with, and passed due to Pancreatic Cancer. Her loss was and continues to be felt by all who knew her.

It is an honour to be able to fundraise in her memory, and hopefully help work towards a brighter future. Any and all contributions are appreciated.

About Pancreatic Cancer UK.

We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease. 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. So, we do more.

We bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through our expert nurses. We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.
