What would Andrew Reeves do about Steve Jobs cause of death?

One of my first thoughts about the fact that Steve Jobs died yesterday of pancreatic cancer is that I'm sure Andrew Reeves would have used the fact that he too lost his dearly beloved mother to the same disease as a really from the heart plea for people to donate to research into one of the most virulent types of cancer that there is.

How am I so sure, because he chose the day that was his mother's birthday earlier this year to get married to someone else he loved immensely, his dear husband Roger. He even mentioned his mother's disease on that day.

He of course wrote about the first Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Week back in 2009. When he mentioned some of the really heart breaking facts:

• Pancreatic cancer only has a 3% survival rate, that hasn't improved in forty years.
• It's the 5th most common cause of caner death in the UK
• Survival rates for pancreatic cancer are extremely low – 4-6 months on average after diagnosis, with the 5 year survival rates less than 3%.
He may of course have told you all how almost a year ago he took part in a 10k race at Hopetoun House, largely because the charity he was being asked to run with Bev, Elspeth, Siobhan and Fiona was Cancer Research. It may have been only 1 hour 19 minutes of his life, and he would have easily rattled off several blog posts about pancreatic cancer in that time, but is was an period of time he was proud to have given to the cause.

However, of course I'm not 100% sure what Andrew would have been doing as soon as he learnt of Steve Jobs death. All I can guess is that he would have made a plea for pancreatic cancer.



That is why most of all and no matter what he would have used today and the sad news of Steve Jobs death to the same disease to highlight two worthy charities dedicated to pancreatic cancer, Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund and Pancreatic Cancer UK.


So as Andrew is no longer around to ask you to do it yourself let me on his behalf say, although the death of Steve Jobs from pancreatic cancer is a terrible loss, so to is the next person to die of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, please give generously and if you are able please give with gift aid as well so that the tax you've paid on your donation is also given to the cause. How to donate.

Sorry Luv this Ambulance Ain't Going Sarf o the River

This Sunday UK Uncut plan to block Westminster Bridge. It isn't clear for how long they intend to do this.

However, as their press release notes:


Westminster Bridge, one of London's most iconic landmarks, lies between the Houses of Parliament on the north of the river and St. Thomas' Hospital on the south. UK Uncut claims that "by blocking Westminster Bridge, we symbolically block the bill from getting from Parliament to our hospitals". In a message to supporters entitled "Block the Bridge, Block the Bill", the group encourages participants to adopt tactics including lying in pools of fake blood, performing pretend operations and having picnics overlooking Parliament.




There is an issue with this.

St. Thomas' is the main hospital for the City of Westminster, the bridge is the normal access point. With a blocking of the bridge and possibly a police presence around the area to deal with the protest access to St. Thomas' Hospital is liable to be restricted. Therefore forcing emergency services to have to try and get to Guys or St. Barts. This could lead to a delay in these emergency services .

Some of the above would apply on a normal day. October 9th isn't a normal day. The Bridge will already be closed off as part of the Royal Parks Half Marathon route. So ironically UK Uncut will be blocking off an already blocked off bridge but on top of that will be causing disruptions around an NHS facility possibly causing it to refuse to take emergency cases.Source URL: https://free-wallpapers-2.blogspot.com/search/label/health
