Verdons & Waltons Take It On

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and together we are Taking It On.

We've decided that as a family we will each run or walk 5km 24 times throughout the month of November. A couple of us have been training for the past 8 weeks as we're complete beginners to running so this should be a great challenge, both physically and mentally.

We lost our mum to pancreatic cancer back in 2018 - sadly she only had 8 weeks from diagnosis. We miss her so much and losing her has completely changed our world but we know that we're not alone; in fact it's just crazy that more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. 

We're really hopeful that with more funding, it's more likely that those clever scientists out there will be able to find new treatments and improve speed of diagnosis so that others stand a greater chance.

We know that Mum would be so proud of us all working together to take on this challenge and we are truly grateful for anything you're able to give, even if simply some words of encouragement!
