Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer s

This September, I’m fundraising in memory of my beautiful friend Leonie. She was a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend and a grandmother.  She was so easy to love which makes her sudden passing all the more devastating. She was the most joyful person that I had the privilege of calling a friend for 56 years.

In addition to walking for Leonie I’m also walking 78km for the 78 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.

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 get up, get moving and walk 78km 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 friend, Leonie Adlard

Thank you for raising awareness and funds to do all we can to support people affected by this disease and one day finding a cure. My Dad sadly passed away 2 months ago from Pancreatic cancer. He had lived a very healthy life until he was diagnosed at the end of 2024. I am so sorry that you lost your friend. This is a beautiful way of remembering her, with a spectacular place for you to do your 78km!
