Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
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 donation to support me, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
I learned about pancreatic cancer from my tutor who was a PhD candidate researching pancreatic cancer treatment. He told our class that it's a dangerous cancer - medications don't work due to the tricky location of the pancreas and there currently exists no reliable early detection method - people often find out when it's too late. I never forget that class and it inspires me to join movements in fighting this cancer. I hope that every effort can contribute to the bigger cause to advance research and save more lives from pancreatic cancer, and I wish every patient all the best - I hope you can keep moving forward with the hopes and courage you've been carrying - I'm proud of you.
