Wicken's Warriors

PCAM Challenge 24

We’re fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

We’re Wicken’s Warriors: Andrew, Angela, Kate, Louise, Henry, Emily, Amanda & Nic.

We’re taking part in Challenge 24 this November for Pancreatic Cancer awareness month.

During the summer Andrew received an unexpected diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. This came as a shock as he had no symptoms other than a bad back - which Andrew thought was a golf injury!

Every day in the UK 24 people die from pancreatic cancer.

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 we’re fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK and we would really appreciate your support.

During the month of November, we will each be completing individual challenges, whether thats running, walking, rowing or cycling 24 miles.  

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 donations could fund...

371

hours with a nurse on our support line

179

hours of early diagnosis research
