From Nick, Matt, Tim and Charlie:

Thank you for visiting our fund raising page. Sadly our father, Jeremy, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two summers ago and passed away on 12 August 2012.

Our family and friends have chosen to support The Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, in memory of JB. 

Our Team will ride 400 miles in 4 days, visiting all 15 Boswells along the way!  We thought this rather apt given that JB was the founder and driving force of our Company. 

Pancreatic cancer is known as the silent killer.  By the time it is diagnosed it is usually too late.  It has the worst survival rate of any common cancer – only 3 in every 100 people diagnosed will live for 5 years. This figure has not improved in 40 years. This cancer is so aggressive, by the time it’s diagnosed, 90% of people will be told that they are terminally ill and given 6 -12 months to live.  Pancreatic cancer is the UK’s 5th biggest cancer killer, yet receives less than 2% overall research funding.  With a higher profile we hope that more attention and funding will be allocated to this disease. There has been an almost criminal lack of progress on pancreatic cancer so it is time to change this.  With recent developments in genetics and immunotherapy, it feels at last that significant progress is within our grasp against this terrible disease. 

Please donate generously.

Thank you!
