About Pankind
Pankind is solely dedicated to improving outcomes for Australians affected by pancreatic cancer. Our mission is to triple pancreatic cancer survival rates by 2030 and significantly improve quality of life for people and families affected by the disease.
We fund research into earlier detection and better treatments, provide practical information and support, and advocate for equitable access to care. Through awareness and community engagement, we bring pancreatic cancer into focus and encourage more Australians to take action.
Put Your Foot Down is one way our community comes together to honour loved ones, support those affected and raise funds for this work. Every walker, fundraiser and supporter contributes to progress.
Our work spans four key areas: Pioneering Research, Compassionate Support, Impactful Advocacy and Relentless Awareness.

About Put Your Foot Down Walks
Put Your Foot Down brings communities across Australia together to honour loved ones, support people affected by pancreatic cancer and raise funds for progress.
Step out in purple with family, friends and fellow supporters for a day of connection, remembrance and hope. Walks are generally around 4–5km, with route, accessibility and dog-friendly details available on each event page.
Your fundraising helps Pankind invest in research into earlier detection and better treatments, and provide support for people and families navigating pancreatic cancer.
If there isn’t a walk near you, you can Put Your Foot Down In Your Town by choosing a date and walking in your local area. You can also host a Community Walk, bringing people together to raise awareness and funds for Pankind.
