Hands up for PCR

Hands up for Pancreatic Cancer Research

Hi going to raise $1 million for research so hopefully we can get better treatment quicker here in Australia . All donations appreciated. Let’s do it together and help the 4500 Australians that get pancreatic cancer every year .  We may have the most unpopular cancer but we survivors. Let’s help our fellow pancreatic patients have hope . Hands up 

Support my fundraiser to fight pancreatic cancer and save lives.

Every two hours, an Australian is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

That's why I'm supporting Pankind and raising funds to help change the future of this disease.

Every donation, big or small, helps fund innovative research, advocate for better care, and provide practical support for people and families impacted by pancreatic cancer.

Thank you for supporting my fundraiser and helping drive progress towards earlier detection, better treatments and improved outcomes that people affected by pancreatic cancer urgently need.
