Support us to end pancreatic cancer! 💜
This September, Cecilia and I are walking 78km for the 78 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer every week.
For us, this walk is incredibly personal.
Three years ago this September, we lost Sandra to pancreatic cancer. She never got to meet Cecilia, which is something I wish could have been different.
Sandra taught me more about life, finding the positives and appreciating the little things than she could ever have known. She had a way of reminding me to look for the good, even when life felt difficult, and that is something I’ve carried with me ever since.
I’ve tried to embrace that positivity throughout my own postpartum journey- finding the little moments of joy, appreciating the small things and reminding myself that even on the hard days, there is still so much to be grateful for. In many ways, I feel like Sandra is still teaching me how to do that, even though she isn’t here.
I miss her every single day, and this September, I want to do something in her memory.
And of course, I won’t be doing it alone. Cecilia is officially joining the challenge too- she’ll be wearing her very own pedometer! 😂
As her mum, I’ll be adding the steps she doesn’t quite manage herself… and I promise I won’t be pushing her around or putting her in any danger for the sake of my step count!
If you know us, you’ll probably know Cecilia is a regular little visitor at Brewmance in Lane Cove. She goes there every day, and plenty of the customers already know just how much she walks and just how wild she can be! 😂
So we’ll be sharing our challenge there too and hopefully getting a few more people behind this important cause.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest common cancers, and the survival rates remain devastating. But research can change that.
So this September, we’re going to walk for Sandra. For the people we’ve lost. For the families left behind. And for the people who deserve more time.
Please donate if you can and help us raise money for pancreatic cancer research.
For Sandra, we will remember her.
We will honour her.
And we will keep fighting.
