I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
I'm Kate and my grandpa recently died of Pancreatic Cancer. He was only 73 and I want to do what I can to help fight this awful disease.
By what would have been grandpa's birthday on December the 10th, I will have walked 73 miles. I will be completing some of these walks with my family. Any donation, no matter how small, is appreciated :)
My donations could fund...
76 hours with a nurse on our Support Line
or
34 hours of early diagnosis research

Ian loved walking on Exmoor and we loved walking with him; he was ace at spotting deer. We must have covered hundreds of miles together over the past years, so we thought it appropriate to donate £1 for every mile we walked on our latest trip last week.
