Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer

This September, I'm walking 71km for the 71 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week. 

Pancreatic cancer is now the 4th 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 12.5% chance you'll be alive in 5 years.

But research can change this. Your support will fund life-saving pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates.

So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 71km to fight this terrible disease.

Please make a donation to support me, and together...

My excellent big brother, BILL ELLIOTT (Billy), suffered and eventually surcomed to Pancreatic Cancer on 21st August 2023, aged 74 years 9 months.

Our grandmother, EMILY ELLIOTT, also died from Pancreatic Cancer (in March 1971) aged 73 years 3 months.

Our dear friend JOHN RUMMERY (Whangarei, New Zealand) also lost his life to Pancreatic Cancer 30th January 2022; John was 80 years young.

All 3 of these wonderful people were fit and healthy before being struck down by this awful disease.

We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
