I’m fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK
November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and I’m fundraising to help drive research breakthroughs that could save lives.
Pancreatic cancer has been left behind. Survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers.
Sadly, for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case. Currently, more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. This is unacceptable.
The funds I raise could support research into early detection and better treatments, and provide health professionals with the tools they need to spot patients’ symptoms earlier.
Your donation has the power to make that possible. Thank you.
My donations could fund...
111
hours with a nurse on our support line
53
hours of early diagnosis research

The final push!
After one of our colleagues lost her husband to Pancreatic Cancer after a 4 year battle at the age of 55, we at work decided to support the charities month, which is November.Our main aim is to raise awareness of this fast acting disease for which there is no specific treatment (you must diagnose it quickly) and also to raise funds for research.
John Okey (74!) is running every day this month with the aim of building up to running 10 miles on the 30th November. He started 1 mile first day/ 1 mile second day / 2 miles third day etc. and has increased to 3.5/3.5/then 7miles on the 19th. Next milestone 8 miles Wednesday. And so it increases up to 5/5/10, knees permitting. Share

Good luck John Okey and team KOK, I'm proud of you all for stepping up to the challenge, especially John, who has pushed himself from running zero miles at the beginning of November to 10 miles on the 30th. Quite a remarkable achievement for a spritely 74 year old.
