Patrons

Jim, and son Jamie Dornan, have accepted key roles in NIPanC with Jamie becoming patron and his dad, a retired medical professor, our president.

​

Jamie's mum Lorna died of pancreatic cancer aged 50 in 1998 after 28 years of happy marriage during which Jim & Lorna had three children. They were all shattered when the news of Lorna's illness hit out of the blue, but very grateful for the precious time they were afforded together after diagnosis thanks to the surgery and treatment she received in the months that followed.

​

Both Jamie and Jim have swung in behind the vibrant board at NIPanC to raise community awareness and funding for research such that this awful disease can be addressed head on, and other families spared the tragedy of losing a loved one far too early.
