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.

Walking for My Mum, Mary As the youngest of her six children, my mum was my absolute anchor. From the days she worked nights cleaning and recorded bedtime stories on a cassette tape so I’d feel safe, to seeing her paint grand theatre backdrops in her eighties, she taught me what unconditional love and fierce resilience truly look like. She lived a life of quiet sacrifice, boundless creativity, and service to everyone around her. Losing her to pancreatic cancer left a space that words can't fill, but every step of these 78 kilometres is for her. I’m walking with her strength in my stride, carrying her memory in my heart, and making sure that the brilliant legacy she gave me continues to make a difference.
