Your impact
Transforming Lives Through Progress
When you join a Put Your Foot Down walk, you’re driving real change for people impacted by pancreatic cancer. Every dollar raised directly supports PanKind’s mission: to triple pancreatic cancer survival rates by 2030 and dramatically improve the lives of those affected.
Why Your Contribution Matters:
Pancreatic cancer is the toughest common cancer, with a five-year survival rate of just 12.2%. For too long, progress has been stalled by a lack of funding and awareness.
71 Australians die from pancreatic cancer every week.
12 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every single day.
Most cases are found too late for surgery, leaving few effective treatment options.
But together, we can change this. By fundraising, you’re part of a movement fighting for a fairer chance - for earlier detection, better treatments, and ultimately, more lives saved.
Where Your Money Goes
Your support powers groundbreaking research and vital initiatives, including
Advancing early detection tools, so the disease is caught before it spreads.
Improving existing treatments, giving patients a better chance at longer, healthier lives.
Exploring innovative therapies, bringing hope where none existed before.
These efforts are critical to closing the gap and replicating the success seen in other cancers like breast cancer, where increased funding has revolutionised survival rates.
Together, We’re Making Progress
Every step you take is an investment in hope, innovation, and change. PanKind is Australia’s leading funder of pancreatic cancer research, and we ensure that every dollar goes towards solutions that will transform lives.
Join a walk today and make your impact count. Together, we can create a future where pancreatic cancer no longer defines lives. Let’s walk, raise funds, and save lives—because progress starts with us.
