PCAM Challenge 24

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. 

In 2022 my father passed away after fighting pancreatic cancer for only 3 weeks at the age of 49. My father was my best friend and was to so many other people, he would always leave people with a smile on their faces and was the life of the party. Unfortunately we didn’t get the same cheerful goodbye as always in 2022 and I will forever miss him. 

I’ve decided to take on this challenge to spread awareness and raise money for this deadly disease. 3 weeks was all it took for pancreatic cancer to take my dad away from me and my brother. We want to make a difference and help families have more time with their loved ones which we weren’t as lucky to get.
