My running shoes are back out and ready to raise some money for Pancreatic Cancer UK in memory of my Ma (Grandmother) AGAIN … to be honest, I’m going to need some new trainers for this challenge.
My Ma lost her life to Pancreatic Cancer VERY fast in 2010, 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!
July 2016 I did a 18 month challenge where I ran some sort of running event every month for 18 months. July 2016 - December 2017 I completed 18 races and raised over £1000!
March/April 2022 I ran 6 Half Marathons in 6 weeks and raised over £900 for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
THIS TIME I’m going for it … a FULL MARATHON! Edinburgh Marathon May 2024! This is going to be a massive challenge for me and will involve a lot of training and focus!
Wish me luck, I will need it and if you can sponsor me, please do! Watch out for little fund raisers between now and May too!
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.
