Overview
- Pancreatic Cancer UK is running a prize draw for a complete set of seven Harry Potter hardbacks signed by 12 cast members, with entries starting at a £5 donation.
- The campaign, promoted by Horton on BBC Breakfast, is raising money specifically for developing a breath test that could help doctors spot the disease earlier.
- Signatories include Rupert Grint, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Emma Thompson and Matthew Lewis, with additional signatures highlighted by the program’s presenters.
- The draw, organized in Rickman’s memory on the 10th anniversary of his death, is open now and closes on March 1 via the Givergy platform.
- Horton cautioned that symptoms are often hard to recognize and cited an average post-diagnosis survival of about three months, noting Rickman’s chemotherapy extended his life but did not cure the cancer.
