I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

In June 2018, my dad, Rick, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. By the time it was caught, it was already very advanced and we knew the outlook wasn’t good. After just under 6 weeks in and out of hospital, my brilliant dad died on 1^st August. The rapid decline in my dad’s health was shocking to see, and sadly, this is typical for many people diagnosed with this form of cancer.

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, like my dad, 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.
