Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund

[franceslippiatt]

As many of you are aware my Husband Colin Lippiatt, sadly passed away on October 15th 2010 after being diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in August of the same year. It has been a very difficult time for both myself, my Family and Colin's many Friends.

At the time we were overwhelmed with the level of support we received from all those people Colin had clearly had an impact on during his long Football career including here at St.Albans FC.

I am eternally grateful for that support and now I am looking to make a contribution myself towards the battle to fight this terrible disease, so I am once again also looking for your support if at all possible.

Pancreatic cancer has a 3% survival rate which due to lack of research in the past has meant that this rate hasn't improved in forty years. The Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is a new charity dedicated to defeating the disease through cutting-edge research into early detection and new treatments.

As the first of what will be a number of activities to raise money towards this research I am, along with some of my family going to be taking part in a sponsored walk at Goodwood and through the South Downs Countryside.

If you would like to help support myself and the charity then any donations, no matter how small would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Frances Lippiatt & Family, forever supporters of Colin Lippiatt.

Its just a shame that he didn't stay with us longer....in more ways than one. Best wishes hope everything is OK with your family otherwise.

The text in italics below is taken from a 'thank you' card received from Frances Lippiatt, Colin's wife, regarding the recent donation from the Saints City Trust to the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.

I would like to thank the Saints City Trust and all of the supporters who took part in the charity walk for their kind donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.

I would also like to wish all of you at St. Albans City the very best for the coming season and I am hoping you will soon be back in the Blue Square Bet South.

Kind Regards,

Frances.

The message below was written by Robert Lippiatt and the Lippiatt Family.

As some of you are aware, I, along with my wife Michelle, took part in the Saints City Trust sponsored charity walk on 26th March 2011.


We were very proud to be invited along to take part, both to raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund (PCRF), in memory of my dad, Colin Lippiatt who passed away in October 2010 from Pancreatic Cancer but also for the Locke Ward at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, who cared for one of St.Albans City's loyal supporters, Adrian Jolliffe, who also very sadly passed away.


The amount raised from the walk towards the PCRF was a fantastic £590. Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed, it really was very generous indeed.


Also last year, my mum Frances (who many of you will know of), my sister Michelle, my wife Michelle and myself all took part in the South Downs Walk on 7th May 2011, again in memory of dad and to raise money and awareness for the PCRF.


So far, we are very proud to be able to say that, along with the donation from SACFC, we have raised the sum of just over £6000 and counting.


We are continuing to work to raise money for the PCRF and will be looking to organise ongoing events. If anyone would like to consider a donation or to simply read more about Colin and the charity, the link is :

Thank you all once again and all the very best for the new season.
