My target 75 kms

Spring walks to fight pancreatic cancer.

This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.  

I am inviting friends and family to walk with me  in the beautiful Bendigo bush, to celebrate the end of my treatment for pancreatic cancer. I was lucky enough to be eligible for a whipple procedure in late January and am now finishing up adjuvant chemo, just in time to walk 75 kms in September. I cannot thank my care team enough for the chance to continue to enjoy life in the face of a dire situation.

Pancreatic cancer is 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 75km to fight this terrible disease.

Please make a small donation to support me; most importantly come for a walk! and together...

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

With huge thanks, 

Deb

For you, Deb, and my Dennis, who didn’t survive pancreatic cancer. September is auspicious for you both. He died September 30, 1977. I’d love to walk with you and your friends in the first week of the school holidays, but not a long one Maybe to Bunyip Dam? xxxx
