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.
My husband died in August after a 21-month fight with Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 54.
That’s why I’m fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK during November and I'd really appreciate your support.
I'm baking biscuits for friends and work colleagues.
Please also sponsor me if you'd like to see me with purple hair!
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 donations could fund...
18
hours with a nurse on our support line
8
hours of early diagnosis research
