Every September, thousands of passionate people unite for one purpose: to honour loved ones, raise critical funds, and fuel breakthroughs in the fight against pancreatic cancer. The impact we’re making—together—is powerful, personal, and real.
The money raised during Remember September directly supports Pankind’s mission to triple the pancreatic cancer survival rate by 2030 and significantly improve outcomes for people impacted by the disease.
Why are the funds you raise so important?
Because 75 Australians die from pancreatic cancer every week, and 12 people will be diagnosed every day.
Pancreatic cancer is now the 3rd biggest cancer killer of Australians, it is the Cancer of our Generation.
In fact, this year, more people will die from pancreatic cancer than from breast cancer. If you are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, there is only a 13% chance you’ll be alive in 5 years.
Early-stage pancreatic cancer rarely causes symptoms. More than 80% of pancreatic cancers are found once they have spread to other organs, making surgery impossible.
These stats are devastating.
But the funds you raise CAN save lives.
By taking part in Remember September and raising funds, you’ll fund pioneering Australian research projects to detect pancreatic cancer earlier, develop more effective treatments, and ultimately save lives.
Since 2008, Pankind has invested $18 million across 76 high-calibre research projects. These span across 21 different universities and institutions, funding some of Australia’s top research talent.
Every step makes a difference
Behind every donation is a name. A face. A story. Remember September is a movement of remembrance, resilience, and hope. Your impact goes beyond statistics: you are helping rewrite the future of pancreatic cancer.
“I lost my mum to pancreatic cancer, but being part of Remember September gave me strength, purpose, and hope. I know we’re making a difference.”
