OUR STORY
Edouard Rabbat (Husband, Father , son , brother & friend) was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in January 2020. After eight months of fighting this disease he sadly passed away. Eddy lived a very fulfilled life and anyone who knew him will remember his kind & generous nature. He was happiest when helping people & we as a family want to honour his memory.
Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate among all major cancers. In Ireland each year 518 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with 483 dying from the disease. In Ireland it has an 8.2% five year survival rate. These stunning figures are not merely statistics, they represent family members, friends and colleagues on every corner of the globe - Breakthrough Cancer Research.
