I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
Pancreatic cancer is tough – tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. And, in the uncertain times we’re currently experiencing, things have become even tougher for people with pancreatic cancer.
I’m Standing Out to raise money for this vital cause.
Please support me and my fundraising. Together we can make a difference and fund life-saving research.
My donations could fund...
17 hours with a nurse on our Support Line
or
7 hours of early diagnosis research

Why we want to make a big change
Many people touch our lives from friends to family colleagues to strangers.
At some point in our lives we've all been affected by cancer. For me and Paul we lost part of his family to pancreatic cancer in 2016 and he was a true gentleman. Recently we have seen a close friend lose her mum too soon. The pain and hurt it has caused is heart-breaking as her mum was a strong, kind and loving mother to her family.
We wanted to do something to honour those we have lost and help those who can hopefully live longer!
On the 20th November in honour of all those people we’ve lost we’re making a big change.
Jo’ann at Thomas Herbert Westhoughton will be dying my hair and Paul’s beard purple. I will also be doing a change to my hair for me this is a big change as I have never dyed my hair and looking to do something daring.
Hair will grow back but cancer will never stop affecting us. So please support us in this big change by donating what you can or even sharing the link.
Thank you
