Giles Clapham

Remember September 2026

In loving memory of

Martin Clapham

5/10/60 - 14/8/2018

Brave, Strong, Funny, Generous, Wise and Missed.

Support my challenge to fight for a world without pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer in the UK, currently diagnosis is like a death sentence, think about that, please let that sink in.

My brother was the bravest man I knew, he took the diagnosis in his stride and looked it straight in the face, but despite his strength and bravery he lost his fight 8 years ago.

So over the course of this September, I'm walking 197km for the 197 people who die from pancreatic cancer every 7 days in the UK.

Right now, another 31 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day in the UK.

Please make a donation to support me, and together we might fund a breakthrough for earlier diagnosis or hopefully a cure.

COMPLETED

What better way to hit my target then a walk to give blood at the local Community Centre.
Ironically, after 196KM the last kilometre was done without Rosie walking with me.
She doesn't mind, she'd snuggled up in her basket.
