I'm Moving It this September!

This September, I'm walking 68km for the 68 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week. 

Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd biggest cancer killer of Australians, 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 an 12.2% 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 68km.

Please make a donation to support my challenge and help fund life-changing pancreatic cancer research.

I did it!

Friday 15th Sep
In just 15 days I reached my goals, both in terms of kilometres walked and dollars raised. I am extremely grateful to my donors, whose generous support pushed me along. As I walked I thought of Sean, every day. I sincerely hope my small but focused contribution to the cause has made a difference. Again, thank you to those who donated.

Day 6

Wednesday 6th Sep
Not quite a week in to my quest and I've walked 31km already. 🚶‍♀️ A couple of days I felt really tired but I pushed on, recognising that my effort is nothing compared to the struggles of people who are battling this rotten disease. Today I eased back a little, chalking up just 3km, mainly to give Mango dog, my intrepid walking buddy, a rest. 🐕

Tomorrow I will reach the half way point in my walking and hope to meet my fundraising goal of $480. Woohoo! Asking for donations doesn't come easy to me but I'm committed. I'm immensely grateful to my donors. Thank you all so much! 🙏

Day 1

Friday 1st Sep
I was keen to get going and despite it being a chilly morning I made an early start. I usually use Relive to track my walks but I linked my Strava account so my kilometres would be logged automatically.  Fortunately I started both apps. When I got back to my car I saw that Strava had errored out and hadn't logged! So I will manually enter my 3.4km from Relive and keep a closer eye on my next walk!
