Pancreatic Cancer UK’s aim to give people “more than hope” after diagnosis is inspiring a team of London Marathon fundraisers who hope a new breath test will save thousands of lives by catching the disease earlier.

Among them is Jo Jefferies whose father Kevin Hesketh was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008 and died the following year.
