Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.
If you are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer tomorrow, there is only a 13% chance you'll be alive in 5 years.
But research can change this. Your support will fund ground-breaking 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.
My Memory Wall for my aunty, Joan

Day 17 of my walking
Monday 22nd Sep I attended two classes at the gym and then did my walk. I've smashed my goal but continue to walk as long as I can. Those with this awful disease may not even get out of bed so I will do what I can to support the cause. Share

Made my target today
Sunday 14th Sep I have gotten to 75 kms but I will continue my walking throughout the entire month just to know I'm supporting a wonderful cause. people affected by the disease don't have a timeline so why should I. Share
Uplate on km entry
Saturday 13th Sep the app kept the kms from yesterday's walk but stopped part way through. I will continue to walk the entire month even though my kms will be completed earlier than expected. Share
Day 8 and 9 walking
Friday 12th Sep I am very happy to be walking with a friend and on my own. Very similar to the journey that most people going through something are experiencing. I feel that support from anywhere makes the process more bearable. Glad to be able to partake in this worthy cause. Share
Day 6 of walking
Monday 8th Sep
Day 5 walking
Friday 5th Sep I thought I would use the app again but it stopped short and not sure why. I must have pressed something. So I've gone by my watch and logged 8.1 kms I am proud to be able to manage this walk as I understand many with a pancreatic cancer cannot exercise. I'm here to help. Share
Dual walk today
Thursday 4th Sep I've walked on my own so far but today I had a friend walk with me. I let her know my walk was 6km but really I logged the 8 as the app stated. Funny I reckon. Share

My Aunty Joan passed in 2014 and I'm paying tribute to not only her life taken to early but all those affected by this heartbreaking disease.
