Honour Marianne Allan and support life-changing research

Marianne lived with extraordinary courage, grace and optimism following her pancreatic cancer diagnosis in 2020. She chose to live life to the full — creating memories with family and friends, travelling, staying connected, and helping others facing the disease she knew so intimately. Marianne passed away in April 2026.

Marianne was passionate about improving early detection for pancreatic cancer, believing that earlier diagnosis could change outcomes for future patients. Through her advocacy, generosity and determination, she inspired hope and helped drive vital research forward.

Marianne and her husband, Ross, established the Marianne Allan Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund for Early Detection to fund vital early detection research and help create hope for the future. Ross is committed to continuing this important work.

In honour of Marianne’s life and legacy, donations made through this page will support pancreatic cancer research and help create a future where more people survive this devastating disease.
