Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer

In tribute to Lauren's Dad by the end of September I'm swimming 78k to honour the 78 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.

Having not been a swimmer for over a decade I'm going to wipe down the goggles and relieve the glory days of 2004, hopefully I can still do it!

Every week in Australia 78 people die from Pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest common cancer, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.

Right now, 12 Australians are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day. It is the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia.

But research can change this. Your support will fund groundbreaking pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates.

So this September, I'm challenging myself to give up something I can't go without to fight this terrible disease.

Please make a donation to support me, and together...

We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.

My Memory Wall for my loved one, Paul Dadley
