It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with the deadliest common cancer die within three months. That’s why they need and deserve more. More research, more funding, more breakthroughs. More than hope. Together we’ll make that possible.

Story

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. Survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers, yet for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case. Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to taking on this injustice using every possible means. They're supporting people with pancreatic cancer now, campaigning, and funding vital research to transform the future. Help them to make the breakthroughs that people with pancreatic cancer so desperately need.

I lost my bestest friend last October after a few months following what we thought was a DVT in her leg. Our worst fears were confirmed when we received the letter saying she had the ‘c’ word. I remained hopeful she could have treatment and I could keep the person most important to me for a little longer. This sadly was not the case, pancreatic cancer is referred to as the ‘silent killer’ as most people are not symptomatic until the very late stages of the illness. I will raise as much as I can to suppose those who have been either diagnosed with this awful disease or know someone who has. I know Nanny would be proud of me and I want to do this for her. Thank you for any donation you can make.
