Story
Swim for Survival is the perfect way to take on a completely personalised challenge and help raise vital funds and awareness for Pancreatic Cancer Action all at the same time.
Founded by a pancreatic cancer survivor who proves that survival is possible, Pancreatic Cancer Actions vision is a day when everyone is diagnosed early and survives pancreatic cancer.
We are the only UK charity that specifically focusses on early diagnosis in everything we do and our work has a direct impact on diagnosing people sooner.
Currently, pancreatic cancer is the UK's fifth biggest cancer killer, but we know that early diagnoses can saves lives and is key to improving survival rates, as the sooner the disease is diagnosed, the better the prognosis. Currently, 5 year survival is less than 7% in the UK but patients who are diagnosed early and are able to have surgery have up to a 30% chance of surviving!
Our vision is a day when everyone is diagnosed early and survives pancreatic cancer and our mission is to improve survival rates of the disease and improve the quality of life for patients.
