I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the 5th biggest cancer killer in the UK with 9,000 deaths every year. More than half of people die within three months of diagnosis and with a five-year survival less than 7%.  There is no screening for pancreatic cancer for a person with average risk. You can’t feel or see a tumour in the pancreas. Symptoms typically don't show up until cancer has spread from the pancreas.  

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.
