I am fund raising for Pancreatic Cancer Action, my husband died in 2007 of this disease. Over the weekend we raised about £400 with a purple picnic and car boot sale. Then last night i some how offered to do a 24hr sponsored silence which includes not going on facebook or drinking wine or listening to david bowie cd's lol

This morning it doesnt seem such a good idea

[smurfette]

Can you talk to us lol?! That's a tough one!!

[ziggy]

nope, gonna be filmed so wont be online at all lol

[shortstuff]

Oooh all i can say is if you do it you are a better person than I will ever be!!!

If you do go through with it please remember to ask us for sponsorship.

[ziggy]

wasnt sure if i could on here. i am asking everyone to pledge £5, if anyone wants to they can let me know here and i will send private message with my details on just giving .com

I will do it this Friday if i get 30 pledges, have 13 so far

I definitely will sponsor you!!
My father died of pancreatic cancer in 2007 too. It's a horrendous disease; we had just three weeks with him from diagnosis to his death to say goodbye. A hard to detect cancer, and by the time it is discovered, the survival rate beyond five years is just a mere 3%, so a huge amount of research is needed to find cures, early detection etc for this cancer.

Good luck!!!! xx
