I have a friend called Dan. Unfortunately his father was recently taken ill with pancreatic cancer. In response to this Dan has established a charitable fund called "Pete's pancreas project" which is aiming to raise £150, 000 to fund an MD thesis researching the causes of a rare form of pancreatic cancer. Pete's Pancreas Project is the fundraising effort to finance some research to help people in a similar situation. "The Dowen Trust Fund" has been set up at The Hepatobiliary Unit, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Pete's pancreas project has formed a team of runners who are mad enough to take part in the Tough Mudders event on Saturday 12th May in Northamptonshire.
I haven't had much time to train. It's a long way and there is lots of mud and rivers to stop us getting around the course so any financial sponsorship would no doubt spur me on on. There are 55 members of the team but we are still looking for other runners to joint the team.
