My Story

I'm running the London Marathon again in 2025 for Pancreatic Cancer UK!

Finding out you have pancreatic cancer is shattering. 

My Mum was diagnosed was pancreatic cancer in 2017, luckily it was caught early enough to be treated and we are incredibly lucky that she is still here.  Unfortunately for most people who are diagnosed it is too late.

It is the deadliest common cancer. The brutal reality is that diagnosis comes far too late for most people. Half of people die within three months of diagnosis. So, families are left with only hope to hang on to.

But hope is not enough. The disease must be detected sooner.

And it can be.

Thanks to the work of Pancreatic Cancer UK’s dedicated team of researchers, a simple test to detect the cancer earlier is within reach. It just needs more funding.

With people running, cheering and raising funds to support this research, together we can save as many lives as runners in this great race.
