We are 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.

Our lovely mum was lucky enough to have a doctor who listened to her symptoms and arranged for her to get the investigations necessary to enable her to get a diagnosis and treatment at a stage when surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy were possible.

Our mum, my sister and I want other people to have the same options that she has had. That’s why we are fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK and we would 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.

Thank you

Wendy Copeland-Blair and Sarah Lalchan

Our challenge

Our challenge this November is to each walk at least 2.4 miles per day on average over the month. We are doing this to raise funds and awareness of this illness so that more people can get the treatment they need when they need it. Too many people don’t know they have this illness until it’s too late. We’d like to see that change!

I would like to contribute to such a good cause, I have had a few members of my family die from this awful disease. I wish they would make it easier to diagnose people with this so it is easier to detect for people going forwards.
