Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 89km for the 71 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week. Mums favourite number was 89. She always planed to have an 89th birthday party. But instead this cruel cancer stole her life at age 62.
She missed out on being a grandparent to her darling Wil and Sophie. We missed out on sharing our life with her. Not only did I lose my mum but also my best friend.
Pancreatic cancer is now the 4th biggest cancer killer in Australia, and because early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms, the survival rates are devastating.
If you are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer tomorrow, there is only a 12.5% chance you'll be alive in 5 years.
But research can change this. Your support will fund life-saving pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates.
So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 89km 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.

Can only imagine what kind of gorgeous lady raised a person like you, dear Nat, and was only just thinking how unfair it is that she missed out on watching your babies grow - and win premierships! All my love and care, xxxxx
