Anthony Henson Yorkshire Three Peaks for Active Against Cancer
It has been nearly two and a half years since my diagnosis of incurable pancreatic and liver cancer and six months since I completed my eight month Lutathera treatment.

However I could not have had or completed the course of treatment without the support of Active…

Yorkshire Three Peaks – Gemma
