Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd 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 13% chance you'll be alive in 5 years.
But research can change this. Your support will fund ground-breaking pancreatic cancer research and improve survival rates.
So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 75km 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.

Have fun … enjoy the sun. Hope it’s a good day.
I’m inspired by a good friend, Marie Sams, whose mum passed away from pancreatic cancer about 3 years ago. Four years ago Marie organised the first ever Newcastle edition of the Put Your Foot Down for Pancreatic Cancer walk, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Unfortunately, Marie’s mum passed away before the walk could take place in September the following year. As a family, we have volunteered to help Marie each year with the running of the Put Your Foot Down Newcastle walk. It’s an emotional day for all who attend. Attached is a photo of Marie, her sister Irene and myself from the 2024 Put Your Foot Down walk.
