Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer

This September, I'm running 71km for the 71 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week. 

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 run 71km to fight this terrible disease.

Please make a donation to support me and my family, and together...

We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.
