Support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 72km for my dad Frank and 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 walk 72km 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.

Walk with Radio Italiana 531
Tuesday 24th Sep Early this morning we were live on Radio Italiana 531 as we broadcast our Tuesday morning breakfast show from the streets of Campbelltown. Marco, Eleonora and myself made our breathless way for Remember September, helping me raise funds and to bring awareness to the pancreatic cancer plight.
The Heat is On!
Monday 23rd Sep Just 8 days to go! It's gonna be a struggle to fit in those 30+ kms in, but slow and steady wins the race. Wish me luck and remember to get your donations in before September 30. Let's go!Share
Goal Reached!
Monday 2nd Sep Today I reached my goal of raising $1200 to fight pancreatic cancer. So overwhelmed by the support from my amazing friends and family. Because I've hit my goal so early, I have chosen to boost my impact and increase my pledge by 50% 💜 Let's do this!Share

My husband, Barry, had Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer before he was diagnosed. Early detection could have given a better outcome for him. He passed away 11 months after diagnosis and 11 months of Chemotherapy
