Jumping for Julie

After a short but brave battle with pancreatic cancer, we unfortunately lost my auntie, Julie Roberts, on January 7th. My auntie Juju was the kindest and warmest person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing; she never failed to fill our family with love and I will forever be grateful for how dearly she loved me.

In November 2024 Julie was told the devastating news that she had pancreatic cancer which had spread. Pancreatic cancer is often asymptomatic meaning that by the time it is diagnosed it is often too late to treat as it is estimated that T1-stage pancreatic cancer progresses to T4 stage in just over 1 year. Currently, 7 in 10 people with pancreatic cancer do not receive any active treatment such as potentially curative surgery or chemotherapy and 1 in 4 die within a month of their diagnosis. Due to the lack of urgency for treatment ,for too long, pancreatic cancer has remained the least survivable and quickest killing cancer.

More awareness needs to be spread, on the 7th June 2025 I will be taking part in a 160ft bungee jump, tied to Will Smith, to raise money for pancreatic cancer UK in Julie's name. Any spare money you are able to donate would be incredibly appreciated by Julie, her family and friends. Together we can beat cancer.
