I lost a very special person in my life, my mum, on the 23rd December 2013. She had been bravely fighting Pancreatic Cancer for only twelve weeks and I feel that by donating money to this worthwhile charity it will help others still fighting this battle. It will also help to support the research needed to diagnose this terrible disease earlier and prevent others having to go through the same pain and emptiness that I now feel.

Pancreatic Cancer is the 5 leading cause of UK Cancer deaths with the worst survival rate of all cancers yet it only receives 1% funding. The 5 year survival rate of 3% has not improved in over 40 years.

It is termed the “silent killer” as many GP’s do not recognise the symptoms resulting in lost time before diagnosis. By this time in many cases, the prognosis is terminal.
