I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. Please support me and help make a difference to pancreatic cancer.
This awful disease has touched my life and that of family and friends. Three years after my Dad's early death at just 68 I'm back fundraising in his honour. I'm certain he'd be shaking his head thinking of how challenging it will be, but over 2022 I'll be taking a wild swim in every county of the UK from Cornwall to the Shetland Isles, I'll be heading in for at least a 15 minute dip with no wetsuit. Instead I'll be fuelled by tea, biscuits, the odd bag of chips and your support.
If you'd like to follow in more detail or even join me anywhere that would be amazing. Once the dates are finalised I'll share them below.
It all starts on February 20th in Saltburn, North Yorkshire!
My donations could fund...
230 hours with a nurse on our Support Line
or
103 hours of early diagnosis research
