kms

My target 21 kms

Please support my challenge to fight pancreatic cancer and save lives.

On the 2nd of August 2026 I will be running 21.1km in the Townsville running festival as a tribute to my grandad Graham who passed away in January this year to Pancreatic cancer. 

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive and devastating disease where only 3 out of 10 people will survive one year after their diagnosis.
