Welcome to Pete's Page
For the past several years, by either polar bear swimming or cycling, I have been raising money for cancer research. This year, I am participating in 7 Days in May, a unique cycling event and fundraiser founded in 2012 to increase awareness about pancreatic cancer and to raise much-needed funds to help raise the rate of pancreatic cancer survival. As you probably know, I lost my dear sister Chris to pancreatic cancer in January so my efforts this year will be in her memory.
Pancreatic cancer remains the deadliest of all adult cancers in Canada. Some statistics:
Pancreas Cancer Mortality Rate - 93%
Number Who Die Within One Year of Diagnosis - 75%
Pancreas Cancer Survival Rate - 5%
Amount of National Funding Received - 2%
Please pledge me and help me reach my fundraising goal! Every pledge takes us one step further in the fight for life.
