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.

On the 19th of March at 2:14am Adrian was stolen from us by Pancreatic Cancer. He was the love of my life, a truly loving and dedicated dad and Grandad, a Hawthorn fan, a GP enthusiast, a fisheman, a tradie, a golfer, a good mate, a pet lover, an innovator a beer drinker and a steak eater. So many of these things were taken from him bythe squatter in his pancreas. We were together nearly 36 years. It feels like a blink and also like a lifetime without him. It is both unbelievable and so deeply, gut wrenchingly real. We had only 141 days from confirmed diagnosis to death, only 14 days from when he was given the 3-month prognosis. We seized every moment of very day. Life without him feels impossible, yet here I am, still waking up, still breathing, still functioning, thanks to the support of family, friends and colleagues. Pancreatic Cancer is an insidious thief, there are currently no early detection screening options for most patients with pancreatic cancer or the general population. Thank you to those of you who are donating to this amazing cause, your generosity is so deeply appreciated. #FUPC
