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.

My Memory Wall for my mum, Yvonne

My Tribute Post

My Mum, the bravest person i know battled this cancer in silence until we got a diagnosis. She passed 9 weeks later at home whilst myself and my sisters cared for her and loved her right through to her end here on Earth. I miss her funny little laugh and her words of wisdom. We shared bubbles together, walked together and had lots of talks about anything and everything. We loved playing Scrabble together and she would always come over and help with her expertise in the garden. I miss her alot and wished she could have had more time here with us all. I do know i did not want her to suffer the awful pain Pancreatic Cancer causes. It is a silent killer until too late so i want to help to find a cure earlier on and this fund raiser is going to help others in the future. Miss you always Mum xx

Making new memories

Sunday 20th Sep
Tokay was an 8k walk with my Sister down an old train line which we grew up around. Talking about the fun times we used to have like catching tadpoles under the tunnel, riding our bikes, taking our kids in their prams when they were young. Collecting pine cones, walking home from school the list goes on and we are never short on conversation. Thanks Mum for giving me the inspiration to fight against this wicked cancer, im just sorry it got you. This walk is in honour of you and to all the people who have had to deal with this cancer. Lets find a cure 😇🥰
