My target 146 kms

I'm fundraising to tell pancreatic cancer to naff-off!

This September, I'm walking 146km in recognition of the 68 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week, and the 78 years of my beatiful Mum's time with us. 

Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd biggest cancer killer of Australians, 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 an 12.2% chance you'll be alive in 5 years.

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

So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 146km.

Please make a donation to support my challenge and help fund life-changing pancreatic cancer research.

Thank you

Monday 25th Sep
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me to raise over $4,400 on behalf of PanKind. Thursday 21 September 2023 marked the one year anniversary of pancreatic cancer claiming my beautiful mother's time with us. The support I have received is evidence of Mum's limitless capacity for love, laughing, hugs, smiles, and to make every person feel special and cared for living on. 

Pancreatic Cancer is nearly impossible to detect and diagnose before it has spread, as was the case with mum. A Stage 4 diagnosis is often the first time patients are aware. It has been my absolute honour to raise funds for the only Australian research institute dedicated to discovering early diagnosis pathways, and treatment for this deadly disease. 

Should you have missed the opportunity to donate, my fundraising platform is still open until the end of September. (I finished the 146kms this morning). What can I say, I am overly optimistic and rise to a challenge.. I get that from Mum. 

Please also take a moment to hold in your hearts everyone currently facing, fighting and grieving from all cancers; stay strong, true and kind. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
