But there is hope. Take on the 10,000 Steps a Day in November Challenge and join us to help fund research breakthroughs and raise vital awareness.

There’s just four simple steps you need to take to get started with your challenge!

  1. Join the Facebook group
  2. Register for your FREE t-shirt and fundraising pack
  3. Set up your Facebook Fundraiser and begin fundraising
  4. Start your challenge on 1st November

Become part of Team Pancreatic Cancer UK, and together we can transform the future for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer.
