On Monday 12th December 2011 I lost my Dad to Cancer. In September 2011 my Dad was dignosed with Pancreatic Cancer and for the last three months was severely affected by the disease. Suffering with the illness made him so ill and he was in so much pain it completely changed who he was because he couldn't do so many of the things that made him our dad. Seeing dad change so much from the person he was before he was ill to the person he was during the illness has had such an devasting impact on my family and I.

Pancreatic cancer is so hard to detect that by the time sufferers are diagnosed with it it is often too late for anything to be done, because of this we did not have enough time with our dad. Raising money to research this disease will hopefully give families more time with their loved ones in the future.
