Support my Challenge to Fight Pancreatic Cancer
Hi Everyone!
Throughout September, I'm walking 250km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
After losing my grandmother to pancreatic cancer in 2023, this is a cause that is very close to my heart. By participating in this challenge, I strive to honour the legacy of warmth and kindness my grandmother lived out in her everyday life and fight for those affected by this insidious illness.
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 in September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving, and walk 250km to fight this terrible disease.
Please make a donation, big or small, to support me, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.

Dear Brad, Thank you for sharing your challenge with us! What a meaningful way to honour your grandmother's memory and support such an important cause. I just made the donation and I truly admire your dedication. I lost my own father to cancer in August 2023, so this really hits close to home. I am with you in spirit as you take on this walk! I hope that your journey brings not only awareness but real hope for those impacted by pancreatic cancer. Wishing your family and you strength every step of the way. Warm regards, Jane Du

Good luck!
I am taking part in Remember September as tribute to my grandmother Frances, who sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer in September 2023. The time between diagnosis and death was swift for my Nan, emphasising the insidious nature of this disease. It is my mission to live out the values she espoused in her everyday life and the lessons she taught me. Nan was everything a grandmother should be and more. Caring and kind. Selfless and loyal. Firm but fair. She taught me that it costs nothing to be kind, warm and helpful to others, and she touched so many others’ hearts with these values. I am ultimately blessed to have the most beautiful grandmother and I think of her everyday. I will fight for her and those currently affected by pancreatic cancer to help beat this silent killer. Big love 🫶
