"Darren passed away from pancreatic cancer at the young age of 55. A loving dad to two young boys, unfortunately his diagnosis was too late... I believe early diagnosis can save lives and that's why I'm raising funds to support research."

We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
Pancreatic cancer takes 71 lives every week in Australia. So this September, we're remembering those we've lost and standing with those fighting to survive.

Dad I will forever remember the lesson and memories you taught me before you passed. Your legacy will live on with my four boys. Fittingly the song that was playing when you passed away last Friday morning was Pat Bentar hit me with your best shot. You definitely fought hard right to the very end. I love you dad
Kylie Whyte
My kids and I have just completed the September challenge in honour of their dad, my husband Clifton Whyte and we are so grateful for everyone who supported us. Not a day goes by that we don't think about him, love him & miss him terribly. Grief is a journey that everyone is on at some time and affects us all differently, but ultimately, what is the same is a huge loss that can never be replaced. Our Cliff was a gentle giant of a man. He was loved by everyone who had the honour of meeting or knowing him. He was exceptionally hard-working and incredibly talented. Music was his life and he had an encyclopaedia of knowledge of all genres of music. He always kept up to date on what was current but loved his old-school lovers rock, hip hop, funk & reggae. I have wonderful memories of him playing his tunes, on a Sunday it was usually reggae. Sundays will never be the same. Cliff had a way with words and could put right any wrong that was going on in your world. He travelled the world many times over but was happiest when he was at home with his family. He adored & was so proud of his kids - India, Levi & Isabella and was beaming with happiness when he met his first grandchild Hartley. His life was cut too short, he had so much more he wanted to do. We were blessed for every minute we had with him and we will miss him love him forever.
David Wilkinson
Today as I reflect on the past month walking every day in memory of my family members I've lost to this horrible disease, I do hope walking 150kms(target was 142kms) and raising $1208(target was $1200) will help fund very much needed research to find a cure so none of us need to go through the heartache of losing our loved ones. ππππ
Talina Vizard
Its been such a challenge an an honour to walk to raise money for pancreatic cancer research. A challenge because I'm still Suffering from long Covid, an honour Because Barb Shearer is a dear friend ,is bravely battling still. I still miss our cousins Stewart Fowler and Wendy Joy also Barb St John and mate from the 70's Wendy Phillips. I miss them so much I want to help raise funds to prevent more people experiencing this disease & its associated heartache
Grant Plasto
I am doing the 71km walk to not only raise much needed funds for research into early detection into this horrible disease. I want to spread the word about Pancreatic Cancer. Untl it impacts you or your family most people have limited knowledge about the disease. It wasn't until my diagnosis I became aware of the potential impact it can cause. I am currently going through chemo after Whipple procedure earlier this year. I want to thank my rock(Jackie), my family & friends for their support and all those who got behind GPS Team who walked and raised more money than we ever expected. This is the first time I have been involved in this challenge and it won't be my last.
Nicola
May we see the day where pancreatic cancer is diagnosed early and treatment is available.
Leanne Ford
146 km walked this September in memory of my Mum Jennifer who was diagnosed in April 2022 and passed away 2 months later. Felt her walking with me. So pleased to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
Alice Morrissey
What a month itβs been. I managed over 200km of walks this month and I am immensely proud of myself. My walks are in memory of my wonderful Mum and her sister who both unfortunately lost their battles too early. My aunt six weeks after diagnosis and my mum 7 months. Itβs not fair this horrible disease takes people so quickly, and doing this each year makes me hopeful that research is going to help others survive it, get diagnosed earlier.
Marisa Vernon
My mum was diagnosed with Bile Duct and Pancreatic cancer. After a Whipple and months of chemotherapy she is doing well. I've walked 122km in September for all of those who've suffered from this and its repercussions.

Sending love to all those who have lost their loved ones to Pancreatic cancer. This fundraiser is for you!

Completed my first Remember September with a 8klm walk to a place my beautiful mother in law Evelyn often talked about and had fond memories in her younger years of growing up in North Beach and in her later years loved to go for drives there on weekends with her darling husband Max. Always remembered, forever loved, Miss you mum π Also remembering the many other people that have been taken by this horrible disease and thinking and sending strength and love to all those currently fighting along with their families supporting them through this fight. ππππππππππππππ
My beautiful Nonna, Uncle Rino and Bruno Badoco

In loving memory of Beverly. Mother, grandmother, wife and friend.
Thank you to all our sponsors for your generous support of research into Pancreatic Cancer and improved patient care in the fight against pancreatic cancer Thank you to all the walkers, family and friends, whose enthusiasm was boundless.
9 years without our beautiful mum and grandma. Missed every day. I'm hoping to see a world where pancreatic cancer is diagnosed early and is treatable. That's why I've raised $1200 for to fund research for one week. Just a tiny drop in the ocean, but with all of us working together, we can achieve so much.
Thank you
π THANK YOUβ¦..115km morning walks, $268 amazing donations raised and a whole lot of love. Iβve walked for my gorgeous mum this September whom passed away from this insidious disease pancreatic cancer almost three years agoβ¦Iβve walked 115km morning walks for mum and the 71 beautiful souls that heartbreakingly die each week from pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th biggest cancer killer in Australia and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating. I believe research can change this. Humongous thank you to every beautiful amazing soul for all your support, especially Dave, Barbara, Jem and Charlotte. You guys rock! π I wish for a kinder world. much love neen xxx Tomorrow I am walking for my dad. π
Graham Baikie
My father, John Baikie, died suddenly from Pancreatic Cancer in June 2024. From hospitalisation to passing away was only 17 days. We were blessed that he felt very little pain and we had the opportunity to say our goodbyes. We miss him and will continue to remember him every day. RIP dad.
Cate Matthews
My sister Sal passed away in December last year from Pancreatic cancer . She was my absolute everything . Sal loved her life, she loved her husband and her three children with all her heart. She was so much fun to be with , she was the life of the party but also cared so deeply for all of her family and friends. I want to make a difference with fundraising so that , in the future no- else has to endure this pain. For all those people who are affected by this disease- you are in my prayers and I send love to each one of youπ
Julie spruit
My partner John was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in July this year.. currently having chemotherapy and is half way through his treatment then whipples in December.. He is such an inspiration and such a warrior β€οΈ π as you know chemo is gruelling and he does this with such strength and determination πͺ and we are just putting one foot in front of the other and just getting through but know we have no choice but to go through these challenges to get to the other side..a side that says you are cancer free ππ..prayers., love and strength are sent to everyone fighting this hideous disease and the loved ones that are barely making it through the grief of watching their loved ones succumb to the effects of treatment π..you've got this
Liz Hitchins
On the 1/2/22 the love of my life Brian was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 10 short weeks later he was gone from our lives, but never from our hearts . Brian was a fit, funny, garden loving 66 year old who loved his family dearly . I will walk and raise funds for research into pancreatic cancer for as long as I am able to walk. This cruel, painful disease needs a cure and for that we need research. Thank you to all the wonderful participants of this cause. You are making a difference with every dollar raised

I have been living with Pancreatic Cancer for 2 years but have seen a few people around me pass from this disease. I feel blessed to be living and have time to spend with my family and friends. I am also blessed to have a good Doctor for diagnosing me early and a great oncology team for looking after me since. I look forward to a long and happy life and thank my Wife and family for inspiring to take this challenge one step at a time. I also dedicate this challenge to the few that has fallen around me.

I am participating in the Remember September this year in honour of my father, Ian. He was diagnosed on his 84th birthday and passed away just 3 months later. Dad gave a lot of his time to help others and so as I walk, I remember his values and kindness. He is greatly missed and remembered often.

I am raising awareness not just for my Uncle, but also one of my school teachers,who passed away from cancer several years ago now, my stepdad who passed 26yrs ago, and my other uncle who passed 30yrs ago.

Dad, you are dearly missed by many. You are still thought of and wanted. I wish you where here still today. Anthony misses you you would be proud of the man he's become, and Annalise would have loved to meet you. As the am sure you would have welcomed Neil and Kim into the family. I pray that for generations to come this pancreatic cancer will stop in its tracks. Many more will live on. Open our eyes to see what is happening and intervene in time, as a community.

Jenny Caughey
Last year my beautiful sister, Wendy lost her life to pancreatic cancer after a very short illness. She was a wonderful person - a loving wife, mother of 5 grown up children with spouses and 17 beautiful grandchildren. She was the hub of their family. She was my sister and my beautiful friend that I had lived with all our lives. She is younger than me by 18 months, we flatted together before we were married, our children grew up together, we worked together volunteering in our farming community and when we retired we moved to the same area. We have travelled together. Her husband, children and grandchildren are devastated as well as my Mum, who is 97, brother, sister and our families. She was loved by everyone who knew her - she was a gatherer of people. She has left a gaping hole in our family. Last year my nieces, Wendy's family, raised over $30,000 for PanKind.

Linda
For you Nan, always a mind of knowledge. The kindest person to have ever been in my life. Forever grateful to have grown up with you in my life.
Sherry
Sarah, 44 years old and a devoted Mumma to her 8 year old daughter was diagnosed 9 months before Pancreatic Cancer took her life. She fought hard and believed she would succeed; after all she had so much to motivate her. A beautiful little daughter who is smart and funny and a budding little dancer. A great career with a fantastic firm of Accountants .Sarah was a ballet dancer when she was younger and then taught many young kids as their teacher. This beautiful person was a kind and non judgemental human being with the recent sadness of losing her mother to breast cancer. She had so many dreams and a true love of life. But Pancreatic Cancer is a lethal beast and we need research to understand and conquer this lethal beast.
Kelly Cooper
For my beautiful big cousin who I always looked up to. You left this world well and truly before we were ready, but not before living life to the max and having an absolute ball. I will miss you every day, but especially those times when I'd expect to see you I will take on your "let's do it!" vibes and carry your big, cheeky grin around with me wherever I go.
Diane

Carolyn
This is my first year in the Remember September Walk . I am remembering my Dad, Ian, as I walk the 71 km. He was always so strong and fit, riding his bike and stopping in at church to fix something or another. He was quiet and courageous with his battle. I miss him and will always treasure his words of advice. He brought a lot of joy to our family. Our family will remember him. I hope I can help others now. 3.10.38-31.12.22

I was surprise by staff and students in their support of my fundraising. It was a total surprise and the overwhelming support even days after. I'm on the left side of the blue line. Student faces cannot be identified. My wife would be cranky about the amount of fuss happening.
Dorothy Sutton, much loved mum, wife, grandma, aunty and friend, lost her battle with pancreatic cancer five months after diagnosis. It's been nine years and we miss her every day. πΊ
Nanny J, not a day goes by where we don't think about you. We miss you so much and miss the support that you were for our family. I miss your smile, your laugh and your ability to make everything better.
Jennifer Burns
My wonderful Dad, David Craig. He was a weird man who loved my sister and I unconditionally. This disease took him fast, it really sucks.

Kimmy Pfitzner
So I turned 40 on Sunday, I am 17 weeks pregnant, and my goal is to walk 71km in September for Pancreatic Cancer, and 50km for Camp Quality kids with cancer. I had no idea how supportive people can be, I've met my fundraising oals, aand ots of friends and family have joined and encouraged me in my walks. Not many people knew about how many people are affected by these diseases. I am really glad I got to take part, and hopefully we can all make things a bit better for those affected

My tribute is for Mary Clark who sadly left us so quickly 11 years ago. Mary was full of fun, kindness, generosity, enthusiasm and only had a matter of a few weeks to say goodbye to her family and friends due to pancreatic cancer. Mary was a great sportswoman and I was lucky to meet her through golf. I dedicate my challenge to Mary and hope the funds raised for research will help find an early diagnosis and cure for pancreatic cancer.
