To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die
Day 9
back home from Melbourne and swinging back into routine It was beautiful walking in the warmth and sun today. Almost went a bit late, a bit warm indeed. My tshirt arrived today and I’ll need to do some alterations as it’s a tad big and looks more like a dress 😜 stand by for the new lookDay 5
what a day☀️☀️Gorgeous sun and cool breeze to wander around Fitzroy and Richmond Feeling tired and a bit puffed out tonight. Thinking of all those fighting poor health and those who are mourning loved ones Happy weekendDay 4
Day 3
Support our challenge to end pancreatic cancer
This September,
Ty will be running 150km
Marika, Tarli and Abbey will be running 75kms each.
Cody will be riding 300kms
Kyra will be completing 750minutes of Pilates
Janine, Helen, Georgie, Graeme, Kathy, Bev, Peter, Wendy, Cassie, Dusty, Liz and Mick will be walking 75kms each.
Brenda will be walking 150kms
Kerrie will be walking 100kms
in memory of our Husband, Dad, Father-in-law, brother- in-law, uncle and friend Nick Pearse who we recently lost to pancreatic cancer and for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is the toughest common cancer, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are a devastating 13% .
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, we're challenging ourselves to get up, get moving and run 75km to fight this terrible disease.
Please make a donation to support us, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
