Three Bears Foundation
Join our team for the fight against pancreatic cancer
Raising funds and awareness in the fight against pancreatic cancer.

Mark, Jane & Chris – 17.7.2017
We are determined to fight and overcome pancreatic cancer with everything we’ve got.
Set up in loving memory of Jane Burn, who tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer in December 2017. The Three Bears Foundation received its name from Jane’s nickname for her son “Chrissy Bear”.
Since then, countless others have joined Mark and Chris in raising awareness of one of the most under-diagnosed and least understood of cancers – pancreatic cancer.
