Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer
This September I will be walking 78kms for the 78 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
This fundraiser is particularly meangingul for me because last year my great-uncle was diagnosed with Stage-4 pancreatic cancer and the last 12-months have been really challenging for my family.
Watching someone you love go through something like this can leave you feeling pretty helpless, so I decided I wanted to find a small way to do something positive and meaningful.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest common cancer, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.
Throughout the next few weeks I will be posting my walks so you can follow along with me!
If you would like to support me, you can donate through my fundraiser link here:https://www.rememberseptember.org.au/fundraisers/irisayates/move-it-in-september-2026
And if donating isn't possible, sharing the fundraiser, following along with my 78km journey, or even just cheering me on means just as much 💜
Thank you to everyone who supports me, in whatever form that takes. I’m hoping that together we can raise some money towards pancreatic cancer research and make these 78km count.
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
You've turn something so painful to our lives into something positive and meaningful. I am so lucky call you as my daughter.
