I'm fundraising in memory of my mum 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.

Raising Awareness

Raising awareness of pancreatic cancer is crucial because it is one of the most deadly forms of cancer, with a low survival rate. Early detection is challenging, as symptoms often do not appear until the cancer is advanced, making it harder to treat. By spreading awareness, people can become more familiar with risk factors, such as family history, smoking, obesity, and diabetes, and recognize potential symptoms like abdominal pain, weight loss, and jaundice. Awareness can also drive support for research funding, which is essential for developing better diagnostic tools and treatments. Overall, raising awareness can improve early detection, enhance research efforts, and ultimately save lives. This is a subject dear to my heart and the reason why I am walking to raise awareness.  I would like to raise between £100-£250 to assist further research and develop better ways of detection.  Please help by donating. Every  penny makes a difference.
