Your impact
Your fundraising helps drive progress
When you fundraise through Put Your Foot Down, you support Pankind’s mission to triple pancreatic cancer survival rates by 2030 and significantly improve quality of life for people affected by the disease.
Why Your Contribution Matters
Pancreatic cancer remains one of Australia’s toughest common cancers. Five-year relative survival was just 14% for Australians diagnosed in 2017–2021, highlighting the urgent need for better outcomes.
Your fundraising helps Pankind invest in research into earlier detection and better treatments, alongside support for people and families navigating pancreatic cancer.
Together, our community is helping fund the work needed to improve survival and ensure people have support when they need it.
Where Your Money Goes

Advancing early detection tools, so the disease is caught before it spreads.
