Lockton UK, part of the world's largest private insurance broker, has chosen Pancreatic
Cancer Action as its charity of the year for 2013.

The decision was made after two rounds of voting by the 750 Associates of Lockton
UK. It is an appropriate choice: Jack Lockton, who founded the company in Kansas
City in 1966, died from pancreatic cancer in 2004.

Pancreatic Cancer Action was founded in 2010 by a rare five-year survivor of the
disease. It aims to improve the currently very poor survival rates through medical
education, greater public awareness, better disease information and research specifically
to improve early diagnosis.
