Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer

This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week. 

Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.

If you are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer tomorrow, there is only a 13% chance you'll be alive in 5 years.

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

So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 75km 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.

Walking with intent

Friday 26th Sep
On my recent holiday with some family, we found ourselves walking so much more than usual.  We strolled, laughed, remembered.  Places create new memories but also hold old ones.  Even a place you have never been, can remind you of a special person just by its smell or the colors or the clothing on others.  Remembering my mum but also my dad was so easy on this holiday.  There were so many moments and places that reminded me of days past.  The taste of authentic food made me remember being at the kitchen table wiith the family, with mum serving the pasta, and the grated parmesan that one of us had begrudgingly grated....sometimes including a graze off a finger.  A reminder to enjoy the moments we have with each other.  These are the memories we keep.
