Team Purple Powerhouse are fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
*There is a new update at the bottom of this page*
Hannah, Andy, Rachel, Colin & Tom are fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer, here is Hannah’s story:
Mine & Tom’s beautiful mum was diagnosed with incurable Pancreatic Cancer in December 2018, since then our lives have been turned upside down. I have spent the last 18 months fighting to try and save her life, despite knowing that what ever I did would likely not be good enough.
As well as fighting for my mum, I want to fight for other Pancreatic Cancer patients, past, present and future. Below is why.
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest and least survivable cancer of all common cancers.
Not only is it the least survivable, but over the last decade, Pancreatic Cancer UK has only received 1% of the governments entire cancer research budget, making it one of the least funded cancer charities.
1 in 4 people die within 4 weeks of diagnosis, 3 in 4 people won’t make it past a year. The 5 year survival rate in the UK is less than just 7%, stats like this haven’t changed or improved for 40 years due to lack of funding.
People like my mum have the odds stacked against them from day 1. Like my mum, many others are put onto palliative care at first consultation.
Things need to change and I need your help.
November is Pancreatic Cancer month, so in November myself, Andy, my brother Tom and our close friends Colin & Rachel are going to challenge ourselves to walk 100km in 24hrs. We’ll have no sleep and just a few breaks so please sponsor us and spur us on, your support really means a lot.
If you’ve read this far, please take 5 minutes to research Pancreatic Cancer symptoms. If you had back ache or nausea for a couple of months would you ever consider that there is a tumour in your Pancreas? I definitely wouldn’t, and this is why GP’s often misdiagnose their patients with less serious conditions. By the time a correct diagnosis is made, it’s often too late. Please pass the message on.
