In October 2024, our wonderful Dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer at age 62. Despite being healthy and fit his entire life, the cancer had already spread to his liver and quickly became too aggressive for treatment to be a viable option.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the rarest and most difficult to treat forms of cancer, with a very low survival rate mostly due to the fact that it has very few recognisable symptoms and is very hard to detect in its early stages.

That is why we have decided to honour Dad by raising as much money as possible for Pancreatic Cancer UK, a charity that funds research into early diagnosis and aims to double survival rates within the next 5 years. In order to do this, we will be completing the UK Three Peaks 24hr Challenge in support of Pancreatic Cancer UK. To succeed in this challenge we must climb the three tallest mountains in the UK - Ben Nevis (Scotland), Mt Snowdon (Wales) and Scafell Pike (England) - in less than 24 hours.

We chose this challenge because we have both climbed all three of these mountains before with Dad. We can attribute so many life skills, childhood memories and love for the outdoors from the adventures we went on with Dad as kids which is why we feel that this challenge is so close to our hearts and the best possible way to honour Dad.

Please help us raise as much money as possible to fight pancreatic cancer and create a more promising future for other patients and their families. Any donation, no matter how small or large, will encourage us on every step of our challenge and make a huge difference for pancreatic cancer patients all over the world. If you can't donate, please share our message and the link to this fundraising page to help us reach as many people as possible!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Jess and Jack
