Doing it for Dean!

Remember September 2026

Newest team member

We are not even half way through September and we have put our target up again! Thanks to the generous people we are all lucky enough to call family and friends! 💜
We also have a new team member… Harley has officially joined Team ‘Doing it for Dean’ we are pretty sure he already covered his 84km running around bushy park like the crazy doggo he is!! 

Unbelievable 💜

Thank you to everyone who has supported us and donated or shared our page or far! Incredibly we have exceeded our £4000 target and have decided to really push our luck and raised the target to £5000! Eeekkk!!  You are all wonderful people and we are so grateful 💜

Day 1&2

Remember September is off to a great start! KM’s are racking up in London and Cornwall. You can see our individual distances on our pages. 
A HUGE thank you to everyone who is donating and sharing our team page. Dean is keeping an eye on the fundraising in between hospital appointments 💜

Thank You

THANK YOU ❤️

We are completely blown away by everyone’s support!

Dean is loving that the ‘Doing it for Dean’ team is second on the leaderboard!! His competitiveness is showing in all the best ways. 

We have upped our target again thanks to all of you… 

Let’s see if we can reach it together 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Overwhelmed by all the support

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, we are all overwhelmed by your generosity! We are really proud to say we have increased our fundraising target because you have all been so amazing - Thank you 🫶

Support our challenge to end pancreatic cancer

This september, we're walking 84km for the 84 people who die from pancreatic cancer every 3 days in the uk.

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer in the UK.

Right now, 31 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day in the UK.

So this september, we're challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 84km remember those we've lost, and stand with those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Please make a donation to support us, and together...

We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
