I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer. More than half of people die within three months of diagnosis.

Survival rates for other cancers have improved dramatically in recent years. But decades of underfunding mean we still don’t have the tests and treatments to tackle this disease. People with pancreatic cancer have been overlooked and ignored for far too long.

That’s why I’m fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK and I'd really appreciate your support. Your donations will support vital, world-leading research, ensure specialist nurses are there to take more calls and fuel campaigns to drive positive change.

Together, we will bring more than hope to people affected by pancreatic cancer.

My Updates

In memory of Dad

My Dad sadly passed away in March 2024 due to pancreatic cancer. We did not know the signs I.e. sudden diabetes diagnosis and thought he was losing weight due to eating well and exercising. By the time he was diagnosed the cancer had spread to other organs. He fought this cancer like a trooper and we had 18 months with him. This cancer needs to be detectable earlier, and continued research into this is so important. My Dad was my world, my best friend, my confidant and had so much life left to live. He was only 62 when he died not long after retirement. I hope adding my bit to this cause will help someway in developing better detection and treatment options. Doing this for you Dad, love you.
