Story
So many of you knew Claire who sadly lost her battle with Pancreatic Cancer on 26th February 2012, after a 20 month fight. Having seen how hard Claire fought, the least we can do is to continue to to assist the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund. We are extremely grateful to all of you who have already donated in our goal to do this.
Nearly 8,000 people a year are diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in the UK, and they face a cancer that has the lowest survival rate of all cancers – just 3% of those diagnosed survive for five years. Yet despite this high death rate, pancreatic cancer attracts little research funding in comparison with many other cancers.
Our current challenge to raise funds for PCRF is an off-road cycle ride on the Ridgeway on 22/23 September, covering approximately 70 miles of the English countryside. A group of ten of Claire's family and friends are joining in the ride.
Please help us to support the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund so that they can raise new funds for research, and argue for a fair allocation of research funding.
Once again, thank you for your invaluable support.
