Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer

This September, I’m walking 78km for the 78 Australians who lose their lives to pancreatic cancer every week — and Peter Squires, my much‑loved brother‑in‑law and uncle to our daughter, who courageously fought this brutal disease until 21 January 2026.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest common cancers. Because early‑stage pancreatic cancer rarely shows symptoms, too many families only discover it when it’s already advanced — and the survival rates are devastating.

Right now, 12 Australians are diagnosed every day. It is the third‑biggest cancer killer in our country.

But research can change this. Your support will help fund groundbreaking pancreatic cancer research, improve early detection, and give families hope where today there is far too little.

So this September, I’m challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 78km — in honour of Peter’s kindness, his humour, his gentle strength, and the love he gave so freely to all of us. It's also one way I can pay my respect and support to Peter's family - his wife/my sister Gail, his brother Neil and his family, and Peter's four wonderful step-daughters - Abbie, Charlotte, Rebecca, Sarah and their families - whose courage as they navigate the path ahead inspires me every day.

Please make a donation and together we will remember Peter and every family who has endured this heartbreak, and importantly, to enable the research and improve survival rates.
