<div><strong>In Memory of Paul Anderson and Sheila Shotts</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like so many others, my husband's best mate <strong>Paul</strong> and my sister <strong>Sheila</strong>, were recently taken from us far too soon by pancreatic cancer. They were both fit, healthy, and had a zest for life. Sheila and Paul were deeply loved and are sadly missed. Sadly, pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed too late for effective treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the UK, pancreatic cancer is the <strong>10th most common cancer</strong>. Treatment can be extremely tough, and the prognosis is poor. However, I truly believe that <strong>early detection can change that</strong> — offering hope, time, and the chance of a cure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During Sheila’s illness, our family received invaluable support and information from <strong>Pancreatic Cancer UK</strong>, whose mission is to take on this devastating disease by:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Supporting those affected
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Funding groundbreaking research
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Campaigning for greater recognition and
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Giving a voice to everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To honour the memory of Sheila and Paul and to help others facing this disease, we are hosting a <strong>Fundraising Gala</strong> in support of <strong>Pancreatic Cancer UK</strong>.
