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.


Awayze's cancer battle.


Patrick Swayze was a beloved actor known for his roles in movies such as "Point Break" and "Roadhouse." In early 2008, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, a particularly aggressive form of cancer with a low survival rate. Despite the grim prognosis, Swayze fought tirelessly against the disease, undergoing numerous rounds of chemotherapy and experimental treatments.

Throughout his battle, Swayze remained positive and determined to keep living his life to the fullest. He continued to work on projects, including a TV series called "The Beast," and even co-wrote a memoir about his experiences with cancer.

Unfortunately, Swayze's cancer proved to be too advanced, and he passed away in September 2009 at the age of 57. However, his legacy lives on, and his bravery and determination continue to inspire those who are fighting against cancer and other serious illnesses.
