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.

As many of you know, Rhi (my beautiful wife) has suffered with Chronic Pancreatitis for 25 years at 21 she had the head of her pancreas removed together with her gall bladder and section of bowel. 12 months later in 2000 she had a total pancreatectomy together with a splenectomy. Unfortunately she later found that a third of the head of the pancreas had been left and she has been plagued with pain illness since and has a spinal cord stimulator to help with this. The bit that has been left which is chronically calcified is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer and therefore anything I can do to raise funds for future research has to be a good thing. Whilst in hospital she witnessed so many people pass away of this horrible disease within a very short period of time. Anything you can donate is much appreciated,  thank you.
