I love you dad, I couldn't have asked for a better dad ❤️❤️

Support my challenge to fight for a world without pancreatic cancer

This September, I'm walking 84km for the 84 people who die from pancreatic cancer every 3 days in the UK.

My dad passed away in April from pancreatic cancer. He brought so much joy to everyone around him with his wit and humour. He was brave, strong, kind, and intelligent—always ready with good advice, a listening ear, and a calm presence in any storm. Dad loved life deeply and fought with everything he had to survive. He deserved a long, happy life, as do the hundreds of thousands of people taken by this disease every year.

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest 5-year survival rate among all major cancers (just 7.3% to 8.3% in the UK) largely because late diagnosis makes it incredibly difficult to treat. Despite its high mortality rate, it remains one of the most underfunded cancers.

If you are able, please consider donating to Pancreatic Cancer UK. If you cannot donate, please help by spreading awareness and learning the early warning signs. It could save a life.

My Tribute Post

My dad (Jon), known to some as Booter, passed away recently from pancreatic cancer, only aged 62 years old. Dad had never been ill before so this came as a massive shock. Months of going back and forth to A&E and the GP and unfortunately it took 5 months before they diagnosed the cancer. He couldn't have the operation and instead had chemo and radiotherapy (MRIdian)-- a new cutting edge radiotherapy that we were told had a 80% chance of shrinking and killing the tumor. Unfortunately, it grew larger and blocked his stomach and he struggled to eat or drink anything and slowly passed away, losing a substantial amount of weight. It was devastating to watch dad slowly passed away, as he was so strong and determined to live and willing to do whatever it took. Dad was a massive softy, so kind and loving and so thoughtful to everyone he knew. He was known for his kindness at work and his department was the only one to have near full feedback on surveys, all stating what a wonderful and kind boss he was. Dad had such an amazing sense of humour and always made people laugh or smile. He was so intelligent and it was inspiring watching him work out the most complex mathematics in seconds. He was naturally sporty, and had a love of many sports, especially rugby and had many lifelong friends. I love you dad, I couldn't have asked for a better dad
