Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 75km 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 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 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.
Dad, you would have been proud of me—for picking up where you left off, for continuing the fight against the disease that took you from us too soon. Pancreatic cancer may have stolen your body, but it never touched your spirit. You faced every day with courage, even when the odds were impossibly high. I watched you fight with everything you had—not just for yourself, but for us. Your strength wasn’t loud or showy. It was in the quiet way you endured pain, the way you smiled through the toughest moments, and the way you held our hands when we were the ones falling apart. You never gave up, even when it would’ve been easier to do so. And that’s what I carry with me now. Your fight didn’t end when you left—it became mine. I raise my voice for you, for others like you, for families who are still holding on to hope. In every step I take to raise awareness, to push for research, to demand better outcomes—I know you're there. I feel you in every moment of courage I manage to find. You taught me what it means to be strong, not by surviving, but by showing up every single day with heart. I miss you endlessly, but your legacy lives on—in me, and in the fight. I love you always, Dad. This battle isn’t over—and I’ll never stop fighting for you.
