French Duncan payroll worker running London Marathon for mum lost to cancer

Jenny has already raised over £7,500 so far for the cause and competed in the Glentress Half Marathon in February, the Alloa Half Marathon in March and participated in a Pancreatic training day.

In the UK around 9,800 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year with just 1 per cent surviving for ten years; 3 per cent for more than five years; and 21 per cent for one year or more.

Jenny is travelling to London with the support of some of her colleagues from French Duncan.

As Jenny explained: “In January 2018 we got the horrendous news that my mum had pancreatic cancer and just 12 days later in Forth Valley Hospital she passed away. I have so much admiration for my mum, she was the strongest, bravest woman I have ever known and will probably ever know.”

“My whole family and my mum’s friends are all heart broken by the sudden loss of such a kind and loving person to this nasty disease. I am trying to raise funds to beat this horrible disease, to stop families going through what we had to go through at the beginning of 2018.”
