Remember My Mum!

It’s hard to believe it’s been 5 years since we lost mum on the first of September 2016. She was the most vibrant, nurturing and loving soul and she left us all too early! Initially she saw the doctor complaining of some pain in her upper abdomen and after a few months of the pain getting worse and getting a second referral, they finally scanned her only to find a tumour on her pancreas! 

The reason this cancer is such a killer, is because by the time there are any symptoms it’s too late! still, even today there is only a 10% chance you still be alive in 5 years if diagnosed! This is a grim diagnosis. 

It’s time to do something about it!  Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia.

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

So this September, I'm remembering mum and raising money and awareness by committing to running 63kms in the month (okay, it’s not a huge amount, but 3 kids in 5 years, and currently barely making it around the tan) myself to get up, get moving and walk 63km.
