I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
As many of you know I was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer earlier this year at just 42 years of age and a 7 year old daughter. Given just 11 months to live in February 2022 I am determined to not only beat this awful statistic but to raise as much awareness and money to help fight this terrible disease.My donations could fund...
342 hours with a nurse on our Support Line
or
153 hours of early diagnosis research

Let's get swimming! 🏊♀️🏊♀️
So today so many amazing Ludgershall villagers and friends are getting their swimsuits on and taking on the epic feet of swimming the distance of the channel at Bicester Leisure Centre.
Ludgershall swims the Channel 🏊♂️🏊♂️👙👙
The amazing Karen Wagland, fellow villager, friend and name twin has been hard at work organising an amazing fundraiser for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Karen along with her husband and a number of fellow villagers are swimming the distance of the channel (a whopping 21 miles) to raise money for this important cause.
Racenight and exceeding £5000 initial target!
A massive thank you to everyone who attended the Ludgershall Race night a few weekends ago. What a fantastic night and we raised well over £2000 for the two charities. Pancreatic cancer uk and the hummingbird cancer support centre in launton. If you or anyone you know has or has been affected by cancer the Hummingbird Centre are a wonderful resource to help not only the patient but caregivers as well. The volunteers do an amazing job and I know how much they have guided me through my journey so far.
Ludgershall at the races!
Saturday night is bringing all the fun of the races to Ludgershall! There is video horseracing where people can have a little flutter, afternoon tea and the chance to get suited and booted just like a day at Ascot or Cheltenham. All proceeds are going to Pancreatic Cancer UK and the Hummingbird Cancer Support Centre in Launton. Thank you to everyone who is coming along I can't wait to see you all.
We did it!
A massive thank you to my fellow triathletes who absolutely smashed it last week and a special well done to my daughter Em-J for completing her mini triathalon. Mummy is so very proud of you.
One week to go!
A massive thank you to everyone who has kindly donated. We are very close to the £2000 mark with the online and offline donations which is incredible!
November - pancreatic cancer awareness month
Not long to go till we take part in our triathalon. Thank you for all the kind donations made to date.
Wow! £1000 raised!!
A massive thank you to those who have been kind enough to sponsor myself and my triathalon team. We have raised over £1000 already which is incredible.
