Claire Samson

PCAM Challenge 24

I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in memory of my mum, Donna and sister, Anne.

Thanks to all my friends and family for your support in previous years. Here we are at the top of Ivinghoe Beacon in the sun ! 

This year I'm taking part in Challenge 24 to walk at least 24 miles this November and hoping that family and friends will join me.

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 donations could fund...

25

hours with a nurse on our support line

12

hours of early diagnosis research

Lighting up the Castle

I ws hoping to have Corfe Castle lit up last night. Unfortunately, with the snow in the morning, the Castle shut and it was too treacherous underfoot to get the light colours changed. However the multi colour setting did have a fair amout of purple!

Walking in London

Instead of taking the tube, walking to Waterloo.
