I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
Mum was taken into hospital in June of this year with severe sickness and diarrhoea. After weeks of biopsies and scans she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, and was told it was Terminal, and she was given 3 months. Sadly after getting a blood clot Mum's time was shortened to 6 weeks.
Mum passed away on 13th September.💔
Neither the hospital, social services, MacMillan or any other medical professional mentioned the Pancreatic Cancer UK Charity to us during any of this short period. I have since found information on their website which would have been far more useful than much of the other information given.
In my opinion, this charity needs highlighting and funding to help this evil; frequently shortlived disease, just as much as the 'common' cancer charities.......and I wish we had found this charity earlier.
As this is important to me, I would like to try and raise some money to help go towards funding on research for this charity.
I am no runner, but I am going to walk a minimum of 50 miles in November to raise money.
I would be so grateful, if you could spare a bit of change to help me do this.🙏
☆ 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 this charity stilldoesn'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.
Thank you.xx
