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.

My Tribute Post

originally I join the challenge as I love walking... September is my birthday month... and my favourite colour is purple... Today on Day 4 of the challenge, I found out my Aunty was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer due to tumor this week... and they are not going to do any staging test nor treatment due to her age at 88. Turn out there is a mysterious force guiding me to choose supporting Pancreatic Cancer research over all other illness...

Challenge complete, and my heart is completely full! 💜🏃‍♀️ I want to say a massive thank you to my incredible community for backing me during my Remember September walking challenge for Pancreatic Cancer Australia. Whether you: 👟 Walked the kilometres with me 📣 Cheered me on from near or far 💰 Donated to the cause ...you played a massive part in this journey. Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest diseases out there, but your support means we are one step closer to funding the groundbreaking research needed to triple survival rates. Thank you for stepping up with me to remember, honour, and fight. I appreciate every single one of you! 🙏✨

Today marked a huge milestone on my journey to support the fight against pancreatic cancer. Not only did I log my best distance day yet, but I officially crossed the finish line of my 78km goal!

Every single step has been about raising vital funds for pancreatic cancer research. Because this cause is so important, I’m going to keep walking and clocking up kilometres until the very last day of the month to see just how much we can achieve together.

Thank you so much to everyone who has cheered me on and donated so far. Let's finish September strong!
