I'm fundraising 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.

My Updates

In memory of Wendy

As many of you may already know I’m not the most active of people. I have decided to take part in challenge 24 and walk 24 miles throughout November to raise money for pancreatic cancer. I will be walking in memory of an amazing lady who was taken far too soon from us all. Wendy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2020. From the point of diagnosis she lived her life to the full. Wendy was a very active person who loved a walk with her beloved Barney 🐾. In July of 2020 we were pleased to cheer Wendy up slightly by telling her me and her son Jay was expecting. Fortunately enough we had an early gender scan and with that Wendy was able to help us to name her grandson Finnley Mark Fisher. I know if she was here now she would be with Finnley all the time. Although I only met Wendy back in 2019 she was definitely an inspiration in my life, and the lady who gave me the drive to follow in her footsteps and progress through a Dental Nursing career.
