On 9th September Paul Redwood and I will team up to become the “Vindaloo Veterans” and take part in the Rickshaw Run India. Starting from Gangtok at the foothills of the Himalaya we will travel, unsupported and self funded, south to Fort Kochi, a distance of almost 3000ks, in a Tuk Tuk. I am taking part in this adventure to help raise awareness and much needed funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

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. My father-in-law, John Blacklock (Army veteran) was a fit and energetic man who at 76 still loved to ski and play squash.  In 2019 feeling unwell he went for tests and was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer; within 12 weeks John passed away at home surrounded by his family.  

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. By making a donation you can help make the breakthroughs that people with pancreatic cancer so desperately need. Your donation is very much appreciated and I thank you in advance for your support.
