300miles for £3k - Coast to Coast for a Cure

Raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK

I have my own place in an event · 31 January 2025 to 31 March 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

🚴‍♀️ I’ll be cycling 300 miles along the South Coast of England from Dover to Plymouth in just 4 days from the 6th Sept— to raise £3,000 for pancreatic cancer research. Here's why:

My Grandma’s smile lit up my world. It never dimmed, not even in her final days. She was the warmest, most selfless person I’ve ever known.

🌱 In her last weeks, she planted the seeds for what is now the most beautiful vegetable garden.

🥟 She filled 2 freezers with handmade dumplings so we’d never get hungry.

🧸 She even mended my 40year-old teddy bear, stitch by stitch.

That was my grandma — always giving, always caring, pouring so much love into every detail of our lives, no matter how much pain she was in herself.

💔 In March last year, we were told she had stage 4 pancreatic cancer — nicknamed the “King of Cancer” as it’s the hardest to treat. That same morning, my mum left my brother and I to go to China to care for her. I missed months of school so I could be by her side.

🕊️ My grandma passed away this May. My mum later told me her last words: *“Jess has her Economics A-level tomorrow, don’t let her know until her exams are over”.* She knew I needed the grades for my Cambridge offer, and she put my future ahead of her own comfort.

💜 This is not just my family’s story – everyday 1,300 families hear the same devastating words: “It’s pancreatic cancer.” Like mine, they lose their loved ones far too soon — partly because the funding just isn’t there.

‼️ With a 3-month survival rate of less than 50%, and no dedicated chemotherapy drug — patients are still treated with drugs originally designed for breast cancer — it remains the deadliest cancer, killing over 1,300 people every day.

🙏 I couldn’t save my grandma, but with your donations, we can change the story for someone else’s family.

Thank you so much for helping me make a difference. 😊
