My Story

Finding out you have pancreatic cancer is shattering. We found this out in 2022 when Daddy (Brendan Gervin) passed away.

As many of you know I raised much needed funds for Pancreatic Cancer in 2024 running the Dublin marathon in sub 3 hours.

This year I am immensely proud to be a chosen charity runner for Pancreatic Cancer, the main charity for the 2025 London Marathon this year.

Pancreatic Cancer 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.

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.

I would kindly ask that you give what you can to this great cause. I know many of you have donate in 2024 for the cause but i would reach out that if you could spare whatever you can that would be brilliant. All proceeds go directly to Pancreatic Cancer.

This charity were of immense support when we found out Daddy has this kind of cancer and its important they are funded to continue with their battle against Pancreatic Cancer.

Thank you so much and hopefully I can go sub 3 hours again in London in April this year and raise much needed funds for the charity.
