To honour a dear friend who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer. Kathleen Thornton. Always loved never forgotten.

I am walking 150kms this September in loving memory of my brother-in-law who faced pancreatic cancer with incredible strength and grace. We will continue to fight for a future where others don’t have to suffer from this terrible disease.

We are walking for the first time after loosing our beloved husband , father, poppy, son , brother , nephew, uncle and friend to so many who love and miss him tremendously Nathan Love ya always and forever

I am walking for remembrance of Debra, she was a longlife friend like cousins for 50 odd years. She was always a loving caring funny person who loved her family so much.unfortunately she lost her battle this year after fighting so hard to beat this awful cancer ❤️

In loving memory of my Mum, Beverley forever 62 years young. She faced her very short fight against pancreatic cancer with grace, bravery and strength. Forever in our thoughts and hearts. I'll be walking to remember her and raise awareness for pancreatic cancer and all of those that are affected by this terrible disease.

My mum, Grace, was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer back in April 2024. Unfortunately due to the difficulties of diagnosing Pancreatic Cancer early, she was already terminal when it was discovered, leaving her and all of us incredibly lost and scared. She was the bravest person I’d ever met, a dedicated high school teacher, a supportive shoulder for anyone in need. She never gave up on anyone. She greeted God on January 23rd 2025, after 10 months of fighting. Time Passes, Love Remains.

After suffering Ankylosing Spondylitis for 27 years and losing the use of my legs for 12 months I have recently in the past month learnt to walk again with no support other than family and I don't want others to deal with diseases without any support so in September I'm going to try my hardest to walk 30km

To my wonderful Nan, to my closest friends who have had their loved ones taken by this disease, I hope we can increase awareness and most importantly funds to support the research needed for early diagnosis, improving treatments and finding a cure to improve the survival rates!

I Loving Memory of My Dad, he Fought so hard for a war He could never win! Always Loved , Never forgotten and lives on in his 2 Beautiful Children!

In Loving Memory of Mark Gone too soon, but will never be forgotten. Mark faced pancreatic cancer with strength, grace, and quiet determination. Now free from pain, his spirit soars—at peace, surrounded by the beauty he loved so deeply. Not long after his final farewell, eagles soared above—rising into the sky as if to carry his spirit home. May the stillness of the Kimberley forever whisper his name. He lives on in every shared memory, every quiet moment, and in the love of those who miss him deeply. Forever remembered. Always loved.

There are so many people to remember this September and also people currently battling. I'm doing this in tribute of my Dad. He battled so hard and never wanted to give up, but this disease doesn't discriminate and takes them as it pleases. It has inspired me to become a healthier and happier person and live life to the fullest.

I’m dedicating to this to my beautiful mum, who passed away 26/01/2024 of pancreatic cancer. September is her birthday month so it seems fitting that I should do this for her on her birthday.

I’m walking along with my sister Riwa this September 2025 for my husband Noel and our brother James who were both diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2024. Noel has had surgery and 6 months of chemotherapy. We are currently living with pancreatic cancer and next step is the 12 monthly check with the Surgeon and the 9 monthly check with the Oncologist. Our brother James is living with pancreatic cancer and having fortnightly chemotherapy. Unfortunately he hasn’t been able to have surgery. He has an infection and is in hospital as I write this tribute. For all those who have lost someone to this deadly disease or are navigating post treatment we hope that our support of this fundraiser can help towards stamping out pancreatic cancer.

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.

In remembering my father-in-law, Don Henderson. He was an awesome man & loved by his family & friends. Always had a joke and a smile for everyone. Don passed away in 2023 after a big battle with Pancreatic Cancer.

I will continue to fight in honour of my darling brother xxx .

In memory of Con and support of Dennis. I truly hope that researchers will one day find more effective ways to diagnose and treat this horrible disease.

Mum, I'll continue to fight on your behalf! Love you to the moon and back xx

Forever in our hearts.

To all those who have become victim or suffered at the hands of cancer any type cancer my deepest wishes and condolences go out to you and your family now in September hold your head's higher as we all ban together to be cancer of and fun some more research

I'm walking for my darling husband Fred, whose loss in our world is beyond words. His mother too, Lidia was also diagnosed. I walk to remember and never forget the impact of love and kindness both lived, we honour them by never giving up hope.

In loving memory of my sister-in-law Kaye. Sadly missed.

Love and miss you

My beautiful Mum, Faye ❤️ taken way to soon from us. She fought so hard until the very end, she even had a nick name in Palliative care - "Faye-Lap" as she wouldn't give up. Always in our hearts 💕

I'm walking for Pete and for those enduring the loss of their hopes and dreams when their loved one passes.

I am walking to fundraise funds for this important cause in honour of my mum.

Uncle Bryce your last words to me were, that "Life was mostly froth and bubbles, Two things stand like stone: Kindness in another's trouble & Courage in your own." You touched many hearts including my own. Being an advocate for (cbd oil) for patients suffering with terrible nausea & vomiting due to their treatment even when back then it was illegal and frowned upon by most of the community. Thank you for everything you did for others while you were here, you Beautiful Soul xx

A florist and wedding specialist. The most creative person I know and she was my mum. Born on xmas day in 1939 in Penrith passed in Port Macquarie NSW, we lost her in 2017 to quick. When mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer stage 4, the disease took her in 7 weeks. From diagnosis to her death., Her beautiful five kids and my siblings cared for at home. Mum (Noelene) died at home with us. Her wishes and we stayed heroic as her kids. The disease was quick. Im doing this for mum, one day she was at the footy watching her beloved Panthers the next we were watching sunsets.

This year marks 20 years since we lost my dear dad, James to this terrible cancer. Sadly his battle was brutal & brief . He was a remarkable man & much loved by everyone that new him. I miss you everyday dad & am doing this to honour you. 💜

Dad, you were strong in your fight . It took 8 months for the awful disease to take your precious life . We will continue to love and remember you . ♥️♥️♥️Miss you very much 🙏🏻😞

After being given 12 weeks to live after my mother’s diagnosis last June. The news was life shattering, stage 4 and no treatment would save her. The next months were spent doing her favourite things, trips to the theatre, drives, movies and time with her family and dear friends. May this year mums fight was over. My mother is the strongest woman I’ve ever known. This terrible disease had its fight after mums diagnosis, and he fought until the end.

This awful disease took my Father too young and ruthlessly fast. Miss you Dad. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this disease.

Remembering my father in-law Paul Winter. Who always treated me like his daughter. Love you always Paul xx

Wombat 💜💜

I lost my Dad to this terrible disease 6 months ago. He fought hard for almost 3 years. I know he'll be by my side through every step of this walk. Doing this for Dad and for my cousin Lyndal and Aunty Tanya whose lives were also cut short by this disease. My hope is that, through further funding and research, we'll be able to drastically improve treatment options and outcomes for patients and their families.

Forever in my heart, loved forever and always

I lost my beautiful mum on the 25th September 2020. 5 months was all it took for pancreatic cancer to take her, she fought so hard but lost the fight. She was a dedicated primary school teacher and loved her school kids so very much. I had so many messages from her old pupils when she died but the best one I got was from a beautiful young lady who messaged me that it was because of my mum she became a teacher. I miss her terribly every single day 💖

I’m walking 75km in the month of September to raise money for pancreatic cancer in memory of my nan!

Too young to be taken and your battle was short. You never lost your humour and amazing character. Still miss you ever day Dad

I am going to be walking with my pop. My pop was my hero, he was an amazing man the father figure in my life. He done everything for myself and for my brothers. I am going to miss him so much. Your wings were ready but my heart was not xx

THANK YOU so much to those that have sponsored me. You have no idea what it means to me I hope I can live up to the goal I’ve set xx

I will support all the people going through this and be a small help towards funding

I'm walking in honour of my beautiful mum Julie who lost her battle with Pancreatic Cancer in December 2024, 10 months after being diagnosed. Mum was such a vibrant, loving and cheeky person and she always knew how to have a good laugh. She was loved so dearly by her family and friends, and we all miss her so much! I know Mum is out there somewhere in the universe riding her Harley with wings. Love you forever mum xx

To my dad - an amazing fighter! xx

To an amazing women, You gave it a good fight like the way you fought for us. A amazing mum & grandmother. Love you always and forever.

I am walking for my mum Alison. Although there was never an official diagnosis as she never got the Perth for a pet scan, her doctor did tell me she in the hospice that she suspected pancreatic cancer was present. At the very least she suffered from debilitating pancreatitis for nearly 12 months leading up to her passing. I am proud to walk in her memory.

I lost my beautiful big brother to this horrible disease and I hope one day we can see a world where a loss like this is a thing of the past. Love you Mark 💝

I’ve signed up for this challenge in memory of my dear Mum and Dad, who both passed away from pancreatic cancer. Mum was newly diagnosed in this photo and lasted another 4 months, dying at age 64. Dad was diagnosed 7 years later and passed at age 73 after a 10 month battle. Beautiful people, taken too soon by such a horrible disease 😢

My dad was a fit and healthy 84 year old then 6 months later, gone. It was a short but brave battle. Miss him everday

I do this walk for my beautiful Nana. Every single day, we miss her. Every single day, we wish there had been a cure for this cruel disease. This walk is my way of honouring her memory, and fighting for the hope that one day, others won’t have to say goodbye too soon.

This is for my Dad who was taken from us too soon. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss you ❤️

To our Zio Emilio Thanks for your guidance from above! We love you and miss you every bloody day Love Robert, Elissa, Ilaria & Riccardo

We lost mum a year ago, in May 2024, to pancreatic cancer. It was a silent disease until it was too late. She fought hard for 2 years, which was incredibly difficult. I miss her every day. I will be walking to raise money for research to save lives in mum’s honour.

It’s coming up to 5 years since losing my Mum to Pancreatic Cancer. She passed away at 67yrs with me by her side. She fought the disease for 2.5years, never giving up….. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of her. Till we meet again Mumma 🕊️🕊️🕊️ I love you soooo much 🤍🤍🤍

We are walking for nanna Jude, she lost her battle after a short fight. Think of her every day 💜

Graeme lost his battle to Pancreatic cancer on the 5th June 2025 after being diagnosed on 19th January 2025. Graeme was an amazing man who was so loving and giving. He would always give a hand to anyone who needed it. He was full of life and energy aswell as determined. He was determined to give his all to fight this disease. He was so loved and so special. He will never be forgotten.

Missing You So Much Mum Always Remembered Never Forgotten

My amazing mum. Just over 12 months and my heart is still breaking.

I lost my beautiful wife Sarah last year to this awful disease. She battled for 2 years and even though things got tough never lost hope that she would get to spend the rest of her life watching our kids grow up. Things got very tough in the last few months but she never lost that hope and battled so hard to stay with us. I miss her everyday and my life will never be the same losing my best friend and soul mate.

I lost my beautiful wife Sarah last year after a 2-year battle. We went through hell in the last 6 months of her life, but she never gave up hope of seeing our children grow up. I miss her every single day. This disease took my wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend to hundreds of people. Life will never be the same.

I am walking in memory of my partners Nan who we recently lost.

In loving memory of my two beautiful grandmothers, who both passed from pancreatic cancer just four months apart. Strong, loving, and full of grace — their loss has left a space in our hearts. I miss them every day, but their love lives on in all of us♥️

Rodney, my invisible husband fought this insidious cancer with such an amazing mindset. He definitely believed he would be that 3% who would go on living. Sadly he lost his fight just shy of 12 months. Rodney’s struggle against the pain & showing us all his brave stance ended on June 10th 2025. I so wish Rodney had never had this awful cancer, but he did. Now I wish to help, in some small way, the doctors with their research to find ways for earlier detection. Also treatments that have better outcomes for people who are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Rodney will never be forgotten by myself & our 5 beautiful children. We will continue to do the things he loved, see the places he always wanted to see, create/build the things he had envisioned & lead wonderful full lives that he would be proud to say that my wife did that & my children achieved this! We love you forever Rodney Xx

I am participating in Remember September in honour of my beautiful Dad who we lost in February this year. My wish is that one day there will be more that can be done to help people suffering this horrible disease.

Remember September means a whole lot more this year. I am doing this for my Grandfather who we lost 14 years ago, my Dad who we lost 16 months ago and now my Uncle who is fighting the fight!

I'm doing this is honor of my beautiful mum who we lost abit over a year ago to pancreatic cancer

I am joining this year’s campaign in memory of my brother Ross who lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer last year. Ross was a courageous outgoing person who loved his family, and a great laugh. He was generous, thoughtful and inspiring to those who knew him . He has been missed by us all.

Remembering my amazing Dad and Grandpa who lost his courageous battle with pancreatic cancer in 2014.

Another year Bubby goes by without you But every year I walk for you on Remember September love you miss you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

For my beautiful mum, Janet, who left this world seven short weeks after diagnosis in January. At 68, she was not ready to go, but being the brave woman she had always been, she courageously said her goodbyes and gently made peace with her destiny. An incredibly strong, loving, protective, loyal, kind and fun person; always with that infectious smile putting others first...you're a tough act to follow. Miss you every minute, of every hour, of every day.

I am taking part in Remember September as tribute to my grandmother Frances, who sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer in September 2023. The time between diagnosis and death was swift for my Nan, emphasising the insidious nature of this disease. It is my mission to live out the values she espoused in her everyday life and the lessons she taught me. Nan was everything a grandmother should be and more. Caring and kind. Selfless and loyal. Firm but fair. She taught me that it costs nothing to be kind, warm and helpful to others, and she touched so many others’ hearts with these values. I am ultimately blessed to have the most beautiful grandmother and I think of her everyday. I will fight for her and those currently affected by pancreatic cancer to help beat this silent killer. Big love 🫶

I'm so honoured to be doing Pankind for my Mum 2 years in October since mum gained her Angel wings I'm still missing my mum so much. My mum was also known as The Mickey Lady because of her love for Mickey Mouse

Mum this is my second year doing Pancan challenge for you I miss you so much Mummy aka Mickey Lady this year will make 2 years without you

In honour of my wonderful Dad, who we lost to this insidious disease. May they find a cure soon! Love you always Dad. 💜

I miss you Mum

For you Dad!! Always Remembered

Remembering my Dad Kevin always and especially in September 💜

Im doing this in memory of my mum who we lost in January this year to this horrible cancer, she was an amazing person and could brighten anyones day with a smile, hug and some good old fashion home baking. I miss her so much everyday because she wasnt only my mum but she was my best friend and the greatest Grandma ever and im sad knowing she wont be here to see my son grow up but i know she is watching over him. Lets fight to put an end to the suffering this cancer causes because im ready to see a world without it!

Graeme, an amazing man who had such strength and determination. He will always be remembered by those who knew him and loved him

In memory of my beautiful husband Geoff who lost his battle April 2024.

In memory of my beautiful husband Geoff who passed away April last year. Love you always ❤️

On the 19th of March at 2:14am Adrian was stolen from us by Pancreatic Cancer. He was the love of my life, a truly loving and dedicated dad and Grandad, a Hawthorn fan, a GP enthusiast, a fisheman, a tradie, a golfer, a good mate, a pet lover, an innovator a beer drinker and a steak eater. So many of these things were taken from him bythe squatter in his pancreas. We were together nearly 36 years. It feels like a blink and also like a lifetime without him. It is both unbelievable and so deeply, gut wrenchingly real. We had only 141 days from confirmed diagnosis to death, only 14 days from when he was given the 3-month prognosis. We seized every moment of very day. Life without him feels impossible, yet here I am, still waking up, still breathing, still functioning, thanks to the support of family, friends and colleagues. Pancreatic Cancer is an insidious thief, there are currently no early detection screening options for most patients with pancreatic cancer or the general population. Thank you to those of you who are donating to this amazing cause, your generosity is so deeply appreciated. #FUPC

Mum, we miss you so much. You grew your wings nearly 5 years ago and i still pick up my phone to call you for a chat or advice. Love you forever and always

In the space of 43 days, I lost my rock, I still struggle. I hold it in but show a good face. She was someone who kept me in a place of peace. We would argue,but as the saying goes we would never let the sun go down on our issues. Visits are regular in my dreams, I have a shrine for her. The angels I have brought now number 9. 8 in the sanctum and one with her ashes.

I'm joining Remember September for my third year in memory of my darling husband, Kenji. I remember something about Kenji on every walk, and walk with the hope that the funds raised support others battling this insidious disease and help increase the survival rate.

Remembering my beautiful mum we lost 18 years ago in June .

Doing this for ALL Pancreatic Cancer sufferers but especially for my Mum …😔 April 2013 ❤️

To my dear friend Vyv. Who fought so hard . Every time I open those bubbles with your opener you bought me.. I think of you… I miss you 😢

All in memory of this beautiful man 💜
