In memory of Kath

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page and to everyone who has made a donation already, taking us to a total of more than £900! We are incredibly proud to have come this far and are very close to reaching our target of £1000, so if you are able to give a little to help us get there, it would be hugely appreciated. Our mum, Kath, passed away on 28th February 2012, less than 4 months after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Kath was a strong person who was never afraid to speak her mind; she was great fun to be around and will be sadly missed by us all. She was only 62 years old. She spoke openly and matter-of-factly about her illness and was aware of the devastatingly poor survival rates for people with pancreatic cancer; most people dying within six months of finding out they have the disease. We were all aware of this - but hoped of course that she would be one of the small percentage of people who survive longer. We would love to be able to help give more hope to those people who receive the same diagnosis as our mum in the future. One way of doing this may be raising funds for research into ways of improving the treatment of the disease. We are extremely appreciative of any donations you are able to make to this cause.
