100 mile bike ride for Mom and Pancreatic Cancer UK

By Adam Donovan

I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

22nd January this year mom was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, 12 years after beating Breast Cancer. She has been having chemotherapy since and fighting it every inch of the way. This is a tough fight with many challenges as this is what pancreatic cancer does, it sucks! This charity has helped my parents with support, answering questions and they signed up to a clinical trial run by them but mom only got one dose before Covid hit and shut down the programme.

I am doing this because Pancreatic Cancer is really hard to spot and even harder to treat. So we need more people to know about it, know about the symptoms, know to get checked. If me doing this means one persons gets to see their mom one day longer, it is worth it! 

I signed up to Ride London (100 mile bike ride around London & Surrey) this year but it was cancelled. So on the 26th September myself, Henry, Adam will be riding 100 miles instead.

Please give anything you can, charities are having a really hard time at the moment so every £1 will help.

Much appreciated all

Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. Please support me and help make a difference to pancreatic cancer.

My donations could fund...

208 hours with a nurse on our Support Line

or

93 hours of early diagnosis research

108 miles done!

Hi everyone. On Saturday we completed the ride! Was windy, cold and rained a bit but was still great fun. It took just over 7 hours in the saddle and we were out for around 9 hours total with a few food stops. Nice surprise of Mom waiting at the finish line was great. Thankful for Henry and Adam joining me and Adam also raised much needed funds for Cancer Research UK. Jamie joined us to drag us home for the last 30 miles, thank you! 

A special word to Dave Wilkinson who rode 100 miles solo in support and spread the word and raised funds, great work Dave!

Finally thank you all for the support. The whole family really appreciate and Mom was delighted. it as do Pancreatic Cancer UK. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
