The Sheeran, Kavanagh & friends Challenge 24

By Ruth Sheeran

I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research & 24 people die in the UK every day from it. 

Myself & Hughie along with some our family & friends will be walking a challenging 24 miles around Lincolnshire on 5th October for Pancreatic Cancer UK. My brother-in-law Colin has been bravely battling the disease for the last 14 months & Hughie lost his cousin to it in April.

We want to raise awareness & raise money to help fund earlier diagnosis & more effective treatment options. If you have a few pounds to spare please sponsor us - your support will help enormously.

My Updates

Colin

Sadly Colin lost his battle on 26th August. He fought his illness so bravely & was a true inspiration.  I know he will be with us in spirit every step of our walk on 5th October. When I visited him a couple of weeks ago he expressed his gratitude to everyone who sponsored this event & it was great for him to watch the total rise from his bed. 

A great man who will be greatly missed by everyone who knew & loved him.

Thank you to my Supporters

Well done Ruth. I count myself as very lucky to have met and spent time with Colin. It’s a very noble cause for a fight against one of the cruellest of illnesses. Let’s hope we can make a difference and make pancreatic cancer a thing of the past.

I worked with Colin a couple of years back. He came to Belfast to train staff at the home I was managing for Four Seasons he was inspirational and I learned so much from him. A true gentleman, he made such a difference to our residents lives with the skills he taught us. I was devastated to hear of his passing. Good luck tomorrow I’m sure he will be alongside you xx Gill Finlay
