Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer

This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.

Pancreatic cancer is 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 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.

I lost my nan to pancreatic cancer. I would like to do something to support the research that goes into helping save people. 

My Memory Wall for my grandmother, Lucy

Rough day

Friday 5th Sep
So this morning I woke up, wasn’t feeling too crash hot but pushed myself to go for a walk anyway. I got about 700m in, my feet were KILLING me (need new shoes), I turned around and walked home. Thought something is better than nothing. I got to my driveway across the road and my head said “nope not good enough, keep going” so I did. Turned out to be a 4.06km walk. My feet were numb, but I certainly felt better with the fresh air. Goes to show my mentality is changing and this fundraiser is pushing me to want to do more and do better.
