Just under a year ago our good friend Mark Bell was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In an effort to show our support to Mark and his family I decided to Climb Snowdon. So next month on 26th May I will be treking 1085 metres (3,560ft above sea level) to the top of Snowdon in Wales in order to raise money for this amazing charity.
Please keep donating so together we can bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
"Mark, who wouldn’t have gone to the doctors without the encouragement of his partner, was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This was confirmed after experiencing severe abdominal pain that got worse which was misdiagnosed as digestive problems by his GP. After being rushed to hospital with acute pancreatitis and finding a mass on Mark’s pancreas it was confirmed that he had pancreatic cancer. He is now having chemotherapy to try and make the mass smaller which will allow for the doctors to perform surgery."
I met Mark and his wife Tina on holiday over 5 years ago in Egypt and I've never felt so blessed to have met the most kind, caring, loving and funniest people in the world. Since being diagnosed Mark has been doing everything he can to help and raise money for this charity whilst going through chemotherapy, he has arranged charity football matches and a charity dinner/ball and has managed to raise SOO Much money. It time to show Mark my support and raise money for the charity myself.
Pancreatic Cancer is the UK’s fifth biggest cancer killer and 26 people die a day from the disease. The 5-year survival rate is just 5%, which is the lowest survival of all 22 common cancers.
Unfortunately, most pancreatic cancer patients are diagnosed too late. Pancreatic Cancer Action is committed to working towards earlier diagnosis of the disease so that surgery, currently the only cure, is made available to the sufferer.
With not a lot of time left we need to support and help those that are losing there battle with this fatal disease and also raise money toward this charity so that we are able to raise awareness and prevent this from happening in the future 🌍 Please donate💕💕💕
