My target 1200 mi

I'm 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.

Together we can transform the future.

We want to make a difference and support this charity in memory of our friend Steve. He did this cycle route some years ago with his family so we wanted to retrace his pedals to support this amazing charity and raise awareness. 

We are planning to do this end of March/ beginning of April over about 4 weeks.

Rachel and Matthew Edwards. 

My donations could fund...

86 hours with a nurse on our Support Line

or

38 hours of early diagnosis research

Thanks for doing this in Steve’s name. Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer and so under-researched. He did many rides to raise money for others and would be delighted with your efforts in his name. Good luck. 😊
