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.

In 2024 I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. We were very lucky as it was caught early and my body responded well to the treatment. A year and a half of chemotherapy, radiation and a Whipple's Procedure (not to mention worry) meant I came out of it with no further signs of cancerous cells. Ongoing scans and tests since, have all been clear, but this is something that always hangs over you and can possibly return...

78 families in Australia a week aren't as fortunate as we were, which is why I've signed up for this to support them.

Right now, 12 Australians are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day. It is the 3rd biggest cancer killer in Australia.

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.

Well that's the walking done for Remember September!
Last walk tonight with Anna to tick me over the 100km mark (was at 99km yesterday). 
Thank you so much for all your generous donations, it means a lot, not just to us but all those families who are at the start of their journey through this horrible disease. You all rock! 
Also thanks heaps to Team Bloor, for smashing our targets, thanks Anna, Byron & Yvonne, you're all superstars!

My back is now looking forward to a rest.

So close!

Well I'm just one KM short with one week to go!
Your generosity didn't end at the target so there's no reason my KMs should. 🙂

Poor Anna has a really bad cold so is out of action for a bit. So hopefully we'll get some nice bush walks in again at the weekend and will see more Koalas while adding Ks. The rest of the team, Byron & Yvonne have been smashing it too. Thanks guys! X 😎

Thanks again all, you're the best. Deffo gonna need some extra naps in October though..

Well we're over the halfway mark in the month

Thursday 17th Sep
And 29km to go! I'm not going to say it's been easy, fatigue hits hard, and I've had to miss a couple of days. Got some back pain too and dodging the kids' recent sickness but hey, I can't grumble as I'm still here, 78 people a week are not! Thank you everyone who has donated, you're amazing and those donations really spur us on. We promised the boys a family bush walk this weekend followed by a diversion to the bubble tea place (which I don't drink, I find those pearls unsettling in a drink). So that will push us nearer that target. Thanks again all, you rock! xx Here's some photos from our family (Team) walk the other weekend, pretty nice view there at the turnaround point.
