My target 68 kms

I'm Moving It this September!

This September, I'm walking 68km for the 68 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week. Last year, my Mum was one of those people. She passed just 6 weeks after her diagnosis. 

Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd biggest cancer killer of Australians, 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 an 12.2% chance you'll be alive in 5 years.

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

So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 68km.

Please make a donation to support my challenge and help fund life-changing pancreatic cancer research.

Angus

Monday 18th Sep
Angus turned 6 months old today Mum. He slept for almost 2 hours in the pram, letting me catch up some kms that I had gotten behind with. We did almost 8 km. Later that day, we did at least 1km around the shops. You loved shopping and I definitely got that gene from you. I just wish I could still shop with you.

Saturday 2nd Sep
Small 2km through Cataract Gorge today.

Touched down in Tasmania

Saturday 2nd Sep
We had a trip to Tasmania planned in 2021. About a week before we left, another lockdown begun and we were forced to cancel our holiday. 
My Mum had a trip to Tasmania booked for early 2023. She passed in November 2022. She told me one of her big regrets was not being able to see out her planned holiday. 
Today, we touched down in Tasmania. In her birthday month. Almost a year after her diagnosis. This time last year, everything was fine. We had no idea that life as we knew it would be turned upside down then dropped onto the floor - with our hearts shattering into a million pieces. 
This is for you Mum. I hope somehow you see Tas, through my eyes. 

2/9/23 - a small 2km through Cataract Gorge today. 

BLOWN AWAY

Tuesday 18th Jul
I am so blown away to have woken up the day after posting about my intentions to have hit my initial target of $1200 raised for Pankind. 
So…. I have doubled it! (For now). The sky is the limit really. 
Thankyou to everyone who has donated so far. 
I have plans to do a walk on the Central Coast (Most likely the 23/24th sept) ending at a pub for bevvies and cake to celebrate what should have been Mums 69th bday (22nd sept). I will invite friends and family to join, and share my link to help with fundraising efforts. More info to come once a date and location has been set. ❤️
I know times are tough right now so if you can’t donate, please share my page link with a story about Mum. Or come along on a walk with me back in a newcastle one day so I have a buddy! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
