I’m taking on The Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge in memory of my Dad. I will be raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK, a charity that so many people won’t have heard of but one that is so important.
More than half of the people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within three months and 9/10 people are diagnosed too late to receive any treatment. Despite being a common cancer and having the poorest survival rates, only 2% of the annual UK cancer research budget goes into pancreatic cancer.
The charity support those affected by the disease, invest in ground-breaking research, lobby for greater recognition of pancreatic cancer and act as a voice for everyone involved in the fight.
Alongside my trusty team of best-friend-shaped cheerleaders, I will be walking on Saturday 2nd October, just a year and a day after losing my Dad. Any donations received will go directly to Pancreatic Cancer UK. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
