I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

My late wife, Caroline, was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer 31st December 2018 following a 6 hour wait in A&E the previous day with myself and our 6 year old daughter.

She’d visited her GP numerous times over the previous 6 months with varying symptoms such as, extreme tiredness, stomach/back pain, weight loss, pale stools, itching and eventually jaundice. These are all classic symptoms of this awful, aggressive disease which kills around 10,000 Britons every year.

Caroline was beautiful, strong and a very determined lady. She would take each day as it came and never complained even while enduring constant pain. 

We were married for 10 years. Caroline was my wife, best friend, soul mate and fantastic loving mum to our daughter Amelia. Sadly she lost her fight against the disease in January 2020, 1 month after her 49th birthday. 

Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. Please support me and help make a difference to pancreatic cancer.

My donations could fund...

27 hours with a nurse on our Support Line

or

12 hours of early diagnosis research

My Updates

November 1st

Kick off the month with a Bang! Took Amelia and Buddy for a scenic 4.7 mile walk overlooking Neath from the top of Duffryn woods 😀

Thankyou to everyone who’s donated so far. Pancreatic Cancer is a horrible, aggressive disease and currently has no cure since symptoms only manifest themselves when it’s too late to treat. Your money is going to fund lifesaving research to develop an early diagnosis system which will hopefully help enable the cancer to be treated early and save lives.

Neil & Amelia’s Challenge

Our challenge is to walk 24 miles every week throughout November, equating to 96 miles (minimum)! 
The cold, dark mornings / nights and November rain isn’t going to deter us...we’ll have Caroline’s memory to drive us on! 

Please give generously to help fund the fight against Pancreatic Cancer.
