Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 78km for the 78 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest common cancer, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.
Right now, 12 Australians are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day. It is the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia.
But research can change this. Your support will fund groundbreaking pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates.
So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 78km 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.

Sending love and hugs to you, your dad and family ❤️
On the 28th August my dad, Paul Gee, lost his battle to pancreatic cancer. He was able to stop having to fight, and I am sure he was grateful to have both his children holding his hand while that happened. In 2023, my Dad had the term ‘Sisu’ tattooed on his wrist as a personal reminder to himself. Sisu is a Finnish concept that means ‘extraordinary determination, grit, and inner strength in the face of extreme adversity.’ At the time, he did not yet know the adversity that was to come with his diagnosis, but nevertheless he was determined to fight. 28 days prior, his beautiful team at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in SA helped tidy him up and ship him off to see myself and my partner get married. We had such a special day in the sun and I’m forever grateful I had my Dad with me. Attached is one of my favourite photos of the day, sharing a look that said a million words before coming with me down the aisle. I told my dad about what we had already achieved for Remember September in August, and he was so honoured to have a village of beautiful, caring people, working to make our experience of the last year more manageable for others. Dad said “well you’d better get your steps in now”, and I will. Thank you to everyone supporting this mission, Paul Gee would be incredibly chuffed, and proud of every one of you.
