Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I recently learnt through my work how devastating it can be to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer too late, and then told that you have just months to live. The effect this can have on a person and their loved ones for this type of cancer and diagnosis is often overlooked, and the symptoms a person presents with can be mistaken for other health conditions. By the time the cancer is diagnosed in most people it is at Stage 4 and terminal.

More research is needed in this field for early diagnosis and treatment for pancreatic cancer, to help those who are affected know that something is being done to improve the state of affairs in the future. Your donation will help to fund research that will lead to the development of more effective detection, diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

I hope you will help me donating to this good cause, however big or small and I will clock up those miles in training to run the Oxford Half Marathon on the 15th October 2023 in support.

About the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund

Our mission is to defeat pancreatic cancer by funding and promoting innovative, world-class research into the disease.

We directly fund research by offering grants to researchers in universities, research institutes and hospitals in the UK and Ireland. We also encourage the major research funding organisations and the research community to give pancreatic cancer greater attention.

So far, we have funded over £15 million of research to defeat pancreatic cancer, with over £2 million committed to the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund Tissue Bank.
