I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

Shortly after this photo of my Uncle Alan & Ted was taken in the summer last year, Alan returned back to Australia and was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.  

Our hearts were broken when Uncle Alan passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loved ones last Friday 25th October.

In Uncle Alan’s memory myself and Ted will be walking 24 miles throughout November (PC Awareness Month) to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK with funds also benefitting Pankind which is the Australian Pancreatic Cancer support foundation.

Now, 24 miles does not seem much but I am unfit, and was already settling into hibernation mode for the winter, so a challenge it is! 

We couldn’t be in Australia to say our goodbyes to Uncle Alan and support our family but will walk in his memory and raise as much as we can.

We love you Uncle Alan, rest in peace. xx

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.
