My name is Mark Rixon. With my wife (Louise) and daughter (Rebekah) we try to raise awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer.

Three years ago i was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. You can see my story here www.thepurplepancreas.co.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.

196 people a week are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We are asking 196 people to join us by shining a purple light together on pancreatic cancer awareness day (November 19th).

We are asking people to be part of the Purple196 by agreeing to the following.

1 Shine a purple light on Novemeber 19th (Pancreatic cancer awareness day).

2 Share a picture of their light on https://purplelightsuk.org/

3 Make a donation on this page.

Thank you so much.
