I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Thank you for reading this and for celebrating my big birthday with me!

Instead of a birthday gift, I would be very grateful if you would consider donating towards Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. Together we can transform the future.

Most of you will know that in the summer of 2023 we received the devastating news that my dearest Dad had terminal cancer.  Dad was enjoying his retirement and was striding through life, enjoying holidays and spending time in his garden and with his family. To receive the news that Dad was terminally ill was a terrible shock for all of us.  I am now trying to navigate my way without someone who was always there for me and was my 'go to' person.  Dad was not only the best Dad to my brother and I, he was my Mum's soul mate and my children's Grandpa. Watching my Dad deteriorate so rapidly and be taken from us in such a cruel way is something I will never forget, and so I've decided to raise awareness and funds for a charity which is working hard to research this awful disease.

It felt fitting to start my fundraising journey as I celebrate a special birthday, which my Dad should have been a part of, and I thank you in advance for any donation you are able to make.

Much love,

Joanna
