Support my challenge to end pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 75km for the 75 Australians who die from pancreatic cancer each week.
Pancreatic cancer is 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 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.

I walk a lot for fitness and when I saw the myriad of ‘walk for charities’ advertising on FB, I thought about them all. I chose Pancreatic Cancer Research fundraising because my brother-in-law died of this disease in May 2019. He was 68 years old. He’d had pain for about 12 months or more before he was finally diagnosed with PC. He had to fight tooth and nail with the medical profession to get the scans and tests that he thought he needed. If nothing else, raising money for PC might elevate its existence in the minds of the medical profession. I admit that there might not have been much more they could’ve done for him once he was diagnosed, but an earlier diagnosis would certainly have extended his life beyond the 18 months he had. To everyone out there fighting this disease, or affected by it in any way, we need to raise the profile of Pancreatic Cancer. By walking and raising money, I’m sure this will help, but I would also encourage you to slot it into your conversations with your friends and family, new people you meet, wear the T-shirt often and keep up the ante. Best wishes, everyone.
