Story

📢 Because...

We want to raise awareness to the most difficult cancer to diagnose and also the most difficult to beat. The survival rate for pancreatic cancer has not improved in the last 45 years and more than half of the people diagnosed, die within 3 months.

Every day in the UK, 24 people die from pancreatic cancer, and only 7% will eventually survive 5 years or beyond.

Only 3% of the annual UK cancer research budget goes into pancreatic cancer. So we ask you, to please get involved and help us fundraise, because without funds, research into early diagnosis cannot happen.

Beating Pancreatic Cancer podcast

If you want to hear more about what Pancreatic Cancer UK are doing, listen to episode 13 of the Planet Beyond podcast 🎧. We hear from a Fugro colleague, Charles Czajkowski about his battle with pancreatic cancer as an example of what can happen when the response to the disease is done well.

He is joined by Dr Chris MacDonald from Pancreatic Cancer UK to understand the research efforts underway to create early diagnosis tools and improve patient outcomes.

Speak up for those who have Lost their Voices

Watch the Lost Voices 🎥 below as it shares the voices of those who are no longer amongst us and therefore unable to speak up for pancreatic cancer

'Don't panic, there are so many treatments out there... and go and see a doctor'

Our colleague, Charles Czajkowski is a pancreatic cancer patient, a survivor of six years – making him one of a very lucky few to be diagnosed with this disease to still be with us even a few months later. He is a living example of what happens when the response to this terrible disease is done well.

Watch the 🎥 that Charles recorded for Genesis Care, on his experience with an effective treatment using MRIdian Radiotherapy - a very hopeful treatment for pancreatic cancer patients.

Help us fundraise, help us spread awareness and Thank You for your support!

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with the deadliest common cancer die within three months. That’s why they need and deserve more. More research, more funding, more breakthroughs. More than hope. Together we’ll make that possible.
