Andy Wilkinson
Andy had an amazing outlook on life. He was a friend to many, a mentor and invested lots of time into his most favourite things in life.
On September 25th, Andy competed in a Middle Distance Triathlon (1.9km Swim, 90km Cycle followed by a 21km Run) coming 20th in his age group and 142nd overall. Andy was peak fitness.
The following day, he and his partner Mandy set-off travelling Europe, cycling, running and living life to the full, only for it to come crashing down around them as Andy developed stomach pains and following a visit to an Italian hospital rushed home for tests.
On 27th October Andy was back home having tests which confirmed he had Pancreatic Cancer.
Just 7 weeks later Andy passed away.
Pancreatic is a fast silent killer and can easily go unnoticed until its big enough to be too late. More research is need to develop universal screening that will detect this cruel disease at a curative stage.
Thanks to all friends and family in supporting this cause in Andy's memory
