We remember a very special lady, who along with the late Andy Luck and Penny Lown, helped over 20 million people in the UK become more aware of pancreatic cancer.  Happy Birthday Kerry!

This is what Kerry Harvey said in August 2013.  Just five months before she had been diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer.  Like most patients, she had never heard of pancreatic cancer before diagnosis.

Drill bits come in several forms and sizes, and may be called by other names including, simply, “The bit.” It’s also known as the BHA, the bottom hole assembly.

Drill bits are selected based on the equipment to be used, the nature of the job to be done and the challenges expected on the job. For example, a trenchless microtunnelling operation designed to house a water line running from a residential water meter to a home wouldn’t require a 28-inch surgical drill bit, and a 48-inch tunnel beneath a riverbed would take forever using a 4-inch horizontal reamer bit.

Today Kerry Harvey should have been celebrating her 27th birthday!  Sadly, after her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in April 2013, she died in February 2014  aged just 24.  In just ten months, she did all she could to raise awareness of the signs and the symptoms of pancreatic cancer to ensure that at least one person was diagnosed in time for surgery – currently the only cure!

Finally, drill bit designs vary and include roller cone rock bits, horizontal reamer bits and a wide range of surgical drill bits with diamond cutting heads that bore gas and oil wells into the Earth’s surface.

A drill bit is the cutting device located at the end of a drilling machine’s drill string. Like the bit on a hand-held drill, it creates a passage through the material into which it bores. It may assist — to some extent — in removing the material which it cuts away to form the passage. The drill bit is an essential piece of equipment in a trenchless drilling project.

Sadly her life ended far too early when she died of pancreatic cancer on 22nd February 2014, aged just 24.  In the weeks leading up to her death, her beautiful face was seen in newspapers, magazines and social media across the world.  This was as a result of her participation in our hard-hitting advertising campaign.  She did this to raise awareness and ultimately save lives by encouraging people to go to the doctor if they suspected they had symptoms.

Before her diagnosis, Kerry was enjoying life like most girls in their early 20s. Adored by her friends and family, in a happy relationship with her boyfriend and looking forward to her future, which like many other young women included dreams of getting married and having children eventually. She was also training to be a paramedic while working as an admin assistant in a hospital.
