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 in honour of my late father Jim Massey who passed away from this terrible disease on July 7, 2024.
Please make a donation to support me, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.

Walking With Dad: Why I’m Doing Remember September Again
Friday 1st Aug
It’s been just over a year since I lost the man who wasn’t just my Dad, he was my best mate.
The past 12 months have been tough. Grief is a strange thing; it doesn’t follow a timeline, and it hits you in waves.
As this year’s Remember September approached, I had mixed feelings. Last year, I signed up almost instantly after stumbling across the Pankind fundraising page. I was still in shock, running on adrenaline, pushing through the pain of losing Dad without really letting it sink in.
I set myself the goal to walk 71km and thanks to you incredible humans, we raised over $10,000 for pancreatic cancer research. That support meant everything. But I’ll be honest, if it wasn’t for my wife and our three little girls cheering me on, I don’t know how I would’ve made it through.
And now, here we are in 2025. Another year, another walk but this time, it's 75km.
At first, I was hesitant to sign up. This time, the reality of Dad being gone has well and truly hit. But then I thought, you know what? This year isn’t about the adrenaline or the fundraising total (although that still matters). It’s about remembering my Dad with every single kilometre I walk.
It’s about walking through the memories, the ones from before he got sick, and the ones we made during the hardest time of our lives. It’s about honouring the man he was, the love he gave, and the strength he showed.
I messaged my four siblings, scattered across NSW and QLD, to tell them i was signing up again this year. Their support has meant the absolute world to me. Even if we’re not walking side by side physically, we’re more united than ever and I know Dad would be so bloody proud of his five kids. He loved us fiercely, and we carry that love with us every step of the way.
So here’s to 75km for Dad, for the families still fighting, and for the hope that one day, we’ll beat this cruel disease.
Thanks for walking beside me, whether it’s in person, in spirit, or through your support. It means more than you’ll ever know.
