I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Two years ago, I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer. From her first diagnosis, her chances of survival were extremely slim, as they are for most people who develop this disease. I’m fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK in the hopes that one day, more people have the chance to survive a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

My mother was a great knitter, and just before her diagnosis, she was starting to get back into sewing. This inspired me to take up sewing again (I did it as a teen), and I’ve been doing it for over a year now. 

My challenge this month is to sew my way through my stash of scrap fabric, which is pretty considerable! I’ll make quilts, cushions, maybe stuffed animals? Who knows! And everything I make will be donated to palliative care facilities. 

Please donate to help fund essential research. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most painful, deadliest common cancers,  and is extremely hard to treat. With your help, we can make a difference.

A word from Pancreatic Cancer UK:

We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease. Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So, we do more.

We bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through our expert nurses. We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.
