Funday raises £6,000 for cancer research fund

A cancer group has been given a lift after a fundraising event that netted a bumper £6,000.

Action 4 Patricia & Paul is a charity set up in memory mother and son Patricia and Paul who both died of pancreatic cancer within a little more than two years of each other.

Patricia died age 85 one month after diagnosis. Paul was diagnosed 14 months after Patricia died and passed away 15 months later.

Patricia’s son and brother of Paul, David Fitzpatrick said: “I decided to organise this event for Pancreatic Cancer Action in memory of my mother and brother.

“It is great to know that the funds raised will help improve research into earlier diagnosis and raise awareness of this grim disease.

The cash was raised at a family funday at Giffnock North Club.
