Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 78km for the 78 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is one of 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 78km 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.

My mum
Wednesday 2nd Sep
I am walking in loving memory of my mum, who passed away from pancreatic cancer ten years ago at just 47. At the time, I was 26 and pregnant with my first child. Her diagnosis came suddenly and brutally, three months, they told us. We brought our wedding forward so she could be there, and against every expectation she held on for 18 precious months. Long enough to know she would become a grandmother, but not long enough to meet her granddaughter. Pancreatic cancer is relentless. It takes too many, too young, with too little warning. My mum deserved more time. Every family deserves more time. This walk is for her, for her strength, her humour, her stubbornness, her love. It’s for the moments she missed, and the ones she fought so hard to stay for. It’s for everyone who has faced this disease, and everyone who will. By supporting my walk, you’re helping fund research, early detection, better treatments, and hope. Hope that one day families won’t have to say goodbye so soon. Thank you for standing with me, and for helping keep my mum’s memory walking beside us.
