Chris's Pancreatitis Support Fund

Hi, my name is Sarah and my husband Chris has been in the ICU with severe acute pancreatitis for over two weeks. The road ahead is long and unknown and we recognise that there are upcoming financial hardships that we need to prepare for.

It's never easy to ask for help, let alone financial help but so many friends and colleagues have said they want to help bridge the gaps in our salaries and to help give our 2 year son as close to his normal routines as possible, pay for the additional mileage, meals and generally alleviate the fear of not being able to pay the bills. So here we are asking for help.

Whatever you can give, in whatever frequency, would be so thankfully received as we begin navigating this next part of his journey.

For updates on Chris's condition please seek one of the communication leaders from your relevant social circle:

Jason - Killteam Family

Claire - Chello teacher+

Ross - Castle Donington, Long Eaton and Uni

Helen + Jackie - JFS / East Mids Schools

**Update **

We are so utterly overwhelmed by the out pouring of support that has happened in a short space of time.

For transparency, as we don't know what we will spend the money on right now, I need to clarify that in the first instance it will be to help us in whatever way we deem suitable e.g. bills, outings for our son, perhaps installing medical equipment. If our needs are sufficiently met, at that time the surplus money may be donated to a charity of our choice.

**Update 2 **

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Chris passed away on 8/2/25. He fought so hard for so long but unfortunately the pancreatitis was too much. We are heartbroken. When we have details of funeral arrangements we will send them via the WhatsApp groups.
