Running 50 miles in Feb - for Dad
Corsham, England, United Kingdom
Aim
We're running 50 miles in Feb for Pancreatic Cancer UK and the University of Windsor's research into natural extracts for cancer
This year marks 10 years since we lost our beloved dad, Robin Palmer, to pancreatic cancer. While the past decade has seen remarkable advances in cancer research, survival rates for pancreatic cancer have remained unchanged since the 1970s. The biggest challenges remain;
- early detection — it’s likely Dad had the disease for years before it was diagnosed. Pancreatic cancer often shows no symptoms until later stages. Once found we only had 7 weeks!
- limited treatment options for late stage cancer — once cancer has spread, it's difficult for current treatments to target it precisely. This restricts how often and for how long they can be used.
That’s why this February, our family is each running 50 miles. We’re doing it to honour our incredible Dad and to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK, who are working to improve early diagnosis, and for the University of Windsor in Canada, whose research focuses on increasing the precision of existing treatments.
