Two friends, Dan and Martin, cycled 133 miles from Lichfield to Lightwater to raise money in honour of a dear friend, Jemily, who sadly died from a rare cancer. Pelican was chosen as one of the charities to benefit from their amazing achievement. (www.facebook.com/Lich2light/)
The duo completed the cycle in 11 hours, with 9 hours spent on the saddle, and raised more than £8,000. An amazing achievement and effort.
Pelican IMPACT has now drawn to a close after two years on the road. Our workshop in Kent on the 17th January was the grand finale in what has been a broad-reaching and highly successful programme delivered throughout the UK and Ireland.
We are particularly grateful to our two main donors, The Lady Yuen Peng McNeice Charitable Foundation and the ACPGBI for the enormous financial support which made this venture possible. This initiative will improve outcomes for many of our most ill patients and will help integrate the crucial role of palliative care in complex cancer pathways. More patients will be cured and best care delivered to all. Thank you Pelican Cancer Foundation, ACPGBI, and all participants!”.
Thank you so much to Laura for completing The Nationwide Building Society New Swindon Half Marathon in September, in just under 2 hours 22 minutes for Pelican! A tremendous achievement.
A-Plan Insurance: A-Plan Basingstoke Commercial Team selected us as their charity of the year in 2019 and have been very busy with an array of fundraising activities for Pelican Cancer Foundation.
Three members of staff held a sponsored golf day which involved 4 rounds of golf, one after the other, and an incredible 18.4 miles of walking over 14 hour time period. For this event, they raised over £550.00. They also held a sponsored gaming event that lasted 12 hours and raised £100.
In addition – the Commercial Team at A-Plan completed the Supernova 5k – Bournemouth Marathon Festival on 5th October, which has so far raised over £400 for us.
We’re really enjoyed working with A Plan and thank them for all their hard work!

Adam and Laura Alderson decided to fundraise for Pelican with an incredible Monkey Bike Challenge. Adam is a pseudomyxoma and multiple organ transplant survivor.
The couple rode two 50cc mini motorcycles over 2000 miles across the Pyrenees, through the roads of Europe through the mountains and villages and rough terrain. This has been an incredibly tough challenge – huge congratulations and thanks to Adam and Laura for completing it! Thank you.
Yorkshire Yaks Monkey Run ?
This year Laura and I will be riding two 50cc mini motorcycles called “Monkey Bikes” 2000 miles across the #Pyrenees, we will be taking the goat tracks and small roads through the mountains and small villages. Laura has never ridden a motorbike in her life ? we’ll carry all our “ stuff “ in a tank bag and panniers with no support. It will be hot, long days riding and fairly uncomfortable. This year we will be supporting Pelican Cancer Foundation these guys play a huge part into the research and development of #pseudomyxoma treatment and below the belt cancers, Brendan Moran was the man who put me forward for transplant and saved my life now let’s help them help others like me.

Lydia took part in the Wales Ironman in Tenby, Pembrokeshire for us on 15th September 2019 and raised over £1,080.
An Ironman is a 70.3mile event split into three disciplines: 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile cycle and 13.1 mile run. The Pembrokeshire course is an ocean swim, hilly bike and hilly run.
Completing an Ironman is an outstanding achievement, congratulations and thank you for fundraising for Pelican.
Stephen took part in Ride London and fundraised £970 for Pelican. A brilliant achievement and fundraising total, thank you.
Amy has completed an incredible 6 ultramarathons through her ‘Running for Hannah’ Challenge – for her friend Hannah, who is battling bowel cancer.
In April 2017, Hannah was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer which metastasized to her ovaries and peritoneum. She underwent surgery and chemotherapy at North Hampshire Hospital and The Royal Marsden Hospital. All the treatment worked, and scan results were clear. But in March 2019, it returned, and Hannah is now starting some new treatment, immunotherapy, to manage the disease.
Inspired by Hannah to never stop hoping, Amy wanted to do something positive and show her support, and she did this by completing her challenge – 6 ultramarathons spelling out the name of her friend.
Well done Amy – for smashing your fundraising target for Pelican Cancer Foundation and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity!
On Friday 12th July, Pelican Cancer Foundation staff, faculty and delegates convened for our ninth Pelican IMPACT workshop in London. Comprising of 122 colorectal specialists from 14 hospitals, our one day programme comprised of 10 sessions that were delivered by 26 specialists from 11 different hospitals.

Individual patient discussion to deliver the best possible care
Our innovative national development programme brings together these multi-disciplinary specialists who are treating patients affected by advanced colorectal cancer, to discuss the treatment pathway and complex areas through case examples. With the focus on patients, our aim through Pelican IMPACT is to concentrate on the outstanding care that is given – in order to make it even better.
Our session on ‘colorectal lung metastases’ presented by Mr. John Pilling, (Consultant Thoracic Surgeon, Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust), focused on the treatment of bowel cancer spread to the lung.
Mr. Pilling and a panel of different specialists presented a complex patient case in an open discussion with the audience, challenging the treatment options and pathway of care. Medical history (information) and scans provided a basis for the in-depth and lengthy discussion regarding patient management and treatment options between different specialists and hospital teams.
Decision making for each individual patient is intricate and complicated, and this discussion highlighted the breadth of expertise available within the region. It reiterated the necessity of multidisciplinary team involvement and for some cases, knowledge of other specialists in the region to refer to in order to ensure the best treatment for the patient.
We are thrilled with the outstanding feedback we’ve received from the day overall (as with the previous eight regional workshops) – reflecting the exceptional standard of learning on the day, delivered by a team offering a diverse range of talent.
One delegate commented: “Increased discussion of possible outcomes at beginning of patient journey – bad and good”. Another said the day was: “very well thought out…. powerful patient perspective videos…”
The more informed a patient is, the more they can make informed decisions about their treatment.
We’re looking forward to continuing our series of workshops with our next IMPACT meeting due to take place in Taunton on 13th September.

There are many different ways that you could support Pelican Cancer Foundation.
We’d love you to fundraise for us!
Why not organise or participate in a fun event to raise funds for Pelican’s work? For some inspiration take a look at some of our fundraisers stories.
In fact, the opportunities for fundraising are endless: golf days, office dressing up/down days, coffee mornings, quiz night, children’s discos, karaoke evenings, barn dances, Christmas fairs, dinner dances, marathons, sponsored walks/runs, sponsored haircuts, or walkathons, dog walks, cricket matches, concert evenings, art exhibitions, fashion shows, bridge evenings, clay pigeon shoots, open gardens, sky-diving – or even taking part in, or organising, an overseas challenge, which could be an experience of a lifetime! Whatever you choose to do, raise money for Pelican whilst having fun. Check out these ideas.
Alternatively, you might want to set yourself a sporting or fitness challenging. You can ask for sponsorship and wear Pelican colours! Check out these challenges.
If organising an event or collecting sponsorship is not for you, you can still help by using platforms to collect donations as you spend.
Auction or raffle prizes – we are always on the look-out for auction and raffle prizes to raise funds at the small number of events Pelican holds each year. This could be in the form of luxury goods, vouchers, hampers, wine, holidays, high-quality toiletries, celebrity memorabilia, tickets to sporting events or concerts … whatever may make an appealing auction prize. We are very grateful to all our supporters who provide so much help and support in kind.
Tell us your ideas. Let us what you’re up to – we can profile your event on Pelican’s website and in our supporter e-bulletin and/or newsletter.
For help and ideas check out our fundraising resources page.
In February, Basi bravely stepped into the ring for a White Collar Fighter fundraising boxing event in aid of his chosen charities. So far he has raised nearly £140.00 for Pelican Cancer Foundation.
Thank you for all your hard work in training for this fight Basi, and well done!

We are really excited to be partnering with medical insurance company MRSL Enterprise as their charity of the year!
Founded by a former Head of Operations of the NHS Litigation Authority and a PhD Engineer, MRSL focusses on insurances for medical risks. The core of their business is to work with medical businesses – surgeons, doctors, dentists and ancillary healthcare to understand their risks, and to develop products and accurate pricing to completely indemnify and insure these businesses.
MRSL Enterprise is also committed to obtaining fair insurance for those who wish to travel with medical conditions, including cancer. If you do speak to MRSL Enterprise – please mention that you found them through Pelican Cancer Foundation. MRSL Enterprise will then make a donation to Pelican.
MRSL’s Chris Cloke Browne visited the Pelican offices and met with our community fundraiser Tim Lockwood to discuss future event plans with us.
MRSL Enterprise plans to:
We are hugely looking forward to working with MRSL over the next 12 months.
Richard, Mark, Caroline, Joel decided to run the Great South. The run, in Portsmouth, is a 10 mile road running race. Unfortunately Richard was unable to run due to injury, but made a wonderful photographer. The quartet fundraised £993.84, plus £240 gift aid for Pelican.
Thank you!

Pelican is an incredible charity and we are so excited to be running in support of them! The whole charity is geared up to improve the lives of bowel cancer patients and they work with doctors throughout the UK and internationally to support them to give the very best care, with the latest research findings. The charity runs workshops and conferences around the country for medical teams and funds research to enhance the care patients are receiving.
Pelican is also close to our hearts. The horrible cancers that the charity works to improve the treatment of have affected members of our family and some of our dearest friends. Without their work the treatment that they will have received would have been very different.
Please give all that you can, as every little will make a huge difference to this small but efficient charity. Pelican receives no NHS funding and everything that they are able to achieve is thanks to people like us who support them, please help ‘Pelican Pacers’ to smash our target and help more people with below the belt cancers to have the very best knowledge influencing their treatment.
PS. Even if you can’t sponsor us, please share our page to help us hit our target. You can find out more about Pelican on their website or on Facebook – please like, share and follow them to help us show more people what a great charity they are!
Phillips Basingstoke Half Marathon took place on Sunday 7th October. A team of 60 runners took part as members of Team Phillips with the aim of raising money for Pelican Cancer Foundation. Among the runners were Pelican trustees Howard Gardener, whose firm Phillips Solicitors, were the headline sponsors of the event; and Consultant Colorectal Surgeon Mr Brendan Moran. This was the fifth time that Howard and Brendan have taken part in the popular, if gruelling event together!
In 2018 Phillips has chosen Pelican Cancer Foundation as their charity of the year.

L to R: Bob Williams, Sarah Crane (CEO of Pelican Cancer Foundation),
My recent 60th birthday was not as enjoyable as I would have liked, about a week before it I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, it is described as treatable, but doing nothing is not an option. This all started back in August 2014 when I needed to see my GP because of a pulled hamstring and mentioned that I was going to the loo more frequently. My GP suggested that I have a blood test to check my PSA, she also explained about the other ‘treats’ that form part of the diagnosis. Well, the PSA came back as 3.6 which she thought was a little high, so we progressed to the next stage. DRE is a digital examination, but there’s nothing technical about it. So far I’ve been prodded and poked, sliced and diced, I’ve had a DRE, an MRI, a TRUS biopsy and a bone scan.
Why am I writing this? Hopefully so that anyone who reads this and is male, around 50 years old or more and has not had themselves checked goes and gets themselves checked. If through reading this one person gets themselves checked, then my work is done. The message still remains the same, if you know a man over 45 who has not had a PSA test, drag the shy, selfish so-and-so down to the doctor’s and get it done!
Pelican has welcomed Mary Edwards as its new Chair of Trustees. We are all delighted to welcome her and look forward to working with her developing the charity’s plans for the future. Mary brings great understanding and experience of the NHS, including research.
Mary is taking over from Sir Peter Michael – and during his time as chairman, Pelican has worked with doctors and nurses from across the UK and Europe to research and embed major changes in both bowel and prostate cancer treatment.
Mary is former chief executive of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and a Governor of the University of Winchester. She joined Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital in 1995 as Director of Nursing and Patient Services and was appointed Chief Executive in 2003. She led the successful integration of Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust with Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare Trust to form Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in January 2012.
She said: “I am delighted to have been appointed as Chair of Trustees for Pelican Cancer Foundation.
“Pelican focuses on a cause that is very dear to my heart, having spent my whole career working alongside clinicians pushing the boundaries of diagnosis, treatment and care for patients who are diagnosed with cancer.”
We hold film screenings once a month, from September to July, in the Squire Theatre at The Ark in Basingstoke.
Starting in 2003, the Pelican Film Society shows films which either never made it to Basingstoke, or which came and went too quickly for most of us to see. It’s a great opportunity to see recent, art-house and classic films on the huge screen at The Ark Conference Centre.
Even better, it is all in support of a great cause, as all profits from the screenings go to Pelican Cancer Foundation to fight below the belt cancers. The charity is dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for bowel, bladder, prostate and secondary liver cancer patients. Since its inauguration, the Film Society has raised over £18,000 for the charity to help improve treatment for below-the-belt cancers through research and education for cancer specialists.

The amazing Jemily Brown headed up Team Ninja as she fights Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). Jemily (aka Jem) – was diagnosed with PMP late September 2017 and had cytoreduction and surgery at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital in October 2017. Jem left Hospital on 16th November, and 7 months later she came back to Basingstoke with her family and friends (Team Ninja) to raise money for our charity. The team completed our 2018 Summer Fun Run for Pelican and raised an outstanding £3730.00.
Thank you Team Ninja!

Donate to Pelican Cancer Foundation to enable prostate cancer patients to live better, for longer.
Nearly 50,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. For men, it is the second greatest cause of cancer death (over 11,000 every year).
The good news is that more than 80% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer will survive their disease for more than 10 years. This improvement in survival has tripled since 1980.
What we do:
Prostate cancer asks men (and their families) to make very difficult decisions about their treatment journey. We want to make sure that all men get the best diagnosis and most precise treatment – resulting in a better quality of life.
Pelican Cancer Foundation invites MDT members to join us at our first TIPTOP workshop on 12th February. Venue: The LifeCentre, 235 Washway Road, Sale M33 4BP
