General fundraise page for Pancreatic Cancer UK & Brain Tumour Research

Whilst I am not fundraising for a specific event currently, if you would like to donate to either Pancreatic Cancer UK or Brain Tumour Research that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Pancreatic Cancer UK https://www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk

My brother-in-law, Mark James, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2020 just as Covid was hitting, and he sadly passed away in the November, at the age of 53, leaving behind my sister, Suzanne, my niece Abbie, and nephew Oli. Mark was already stage 4 when he was diagnosed despite a few months of doctors appointments feeling unwell.

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival of all common cancers, with a five-year survival rate of less than 7%, and more than half of people diagnosed die within 3 months. PCUK work tirelessly to transform the future for pancreatic cancer by funding research breakthroughs, campaigning for changes to treatment and care and supporting people when they need it the most.

Brain Tumour Research https://braintumourresearch.org

My best friend at university, Darren, was diagnosed in September 2024 with a glioblastoma, and sadly passed away in August 2025 at the age of 52. This aggressive, incurable brain tumour has limited treatment options and the standard of care has not changed for twenty years. It devastates the families that it touches - both adults and children. Darren had two teenage children, and did not live to see them finish school, go to university, have partners, get married nor have children.

Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age, but kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. However, to date, just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002. Brain Tumour Research are campaigning to increase the national investment in research into brain tumours to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK.
