I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

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 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.

My donations could fund...

7

hours with a nurse on our support line

3

hours of early diagnosis research

My Updates

For my mom who I lost to pancreatic cancer in 2019

Hey I’m Leah Dutton from the West Midlands.
I’m gonna be running, cycling and Hiking 24 miles in November to fundraise for pancreatic cancer charity.
This charity is quite close to me due to losing my mom - Caroline Billings  to pancreatic cancer which she passed on 27th December 2019. 
Her Story :- 
She suffered for a whole year before she was diagnosed going to GP appointments she had lumps in her stomach which the gps didn’t know what the cause was. 
She went to a gp appointment and the gp called an ambulance she was rushed into hospital with signs of sepsis.
She was then diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer on the 9th December and then the next day on the 10th we found out that it was terminal. Her cancer metastasised up to her lungs and she passed away on the 27th December at 07:30am at Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham.
She was surrounded by her loved ones.
I feel like she never wanted to leave us and fought a good fight.
She never wanted to die alone so we was grateful we could be with her and got to say our last goodbyes. 

Let me tell you a little bit about my mom she was a wonderful kind  person who would help anyone. 
She would do anything for her family and she loved us dearly.
She use to bake cakes for special occasion  like weddings, birthday and christenings etc.. 
she use to light up any room she walked into and had a contagious laugh.
She was a social butterfly loved her friends.
She loved to travel 
She  use to grow her own vegetables/fruit and had pet chickens which the grand children gave her a nickname they use to call her “Nanny chicken”. 
I could write a book with all her positive quality’s about my mom. 
 I’m setting my fundraiser mark at £150 to fund.
It would mean a lot to me if you could donate to this fundraiser.
If you do donate thank you so much and know you are making a big impact for this charity.
