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 because it's easy to miss early symptoms. My Mum battled for 19 months after her diagnosis, and the support she got from Pancreatic Cancer UK and other organisations made a huge difference to her.

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. 

I'd really appreciate your support while I fundraise for Pancreatic Cancer UK. 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 Updates

I did it!

I wasn't as motivated as I hoped, but I managed to run 24 miles in November, and I almost enjoyed my latest run. Looking at my Garmin report for the last 12 months just highlights how little I've done in the last year!

3rd run done!

After a few weeks of making excuses, I finally made it out for 2 runs - adding 8.4 miles to my #challenge24 goal to run 24 miles in November. One of them was a lunch run (which I have never done before) on a freezing cold and sunny day, and I almost enjoyed it!  

Challenge 24 goal - 24 miles of running in November

For Challenge 24, I will try to run 24 miles in November. This doesn't sound like a lot, but I haven't been running much because life keeps getting in the way! 

I started off the month with the 5km Supernova Forth Bridge run on 2nd November. This was to celebrate the 60 year anniversary of the Bridge.  The experience was great, but the run was tougher than I expected. I need to start somewhere!
