Jodi Etkind
Jodi’s September Challenge
Story
I am taking part in Remember September in memory of my amazing Aunt Pat Nurick who lost her battle with this horrible disease on 16 August 2018.
I want to help raise much-needed awareness for Pancreatic Cancer and much-needed funds for Pancreatic Cancer research.
As a participant of this challenge, I will give up drinking ALL liquids except for water for the entire month of September, giving up my favorite drinks, including, coffee, tea, alcohol, Coca Cola (if you know me you’ll appreciate the sacrifice :/)
Pancreatic Cancer is a horrible disease. It is the 9th most commonly diagnosed cancer and the 5th most common cause of cancer death. Once diagnosed, the chance of surviving for five years is just 8%, which is one of the lowest of major cancers and has improved the least in the last 30 years. The average survival of a Pancreatic Cancer patient is just 3-6 months. And yet, despite these terrifying facts, Pancreatic Cancer research gets less than 1% of available cancer funding.

Throughout the challenge, I will be raising awareness and seeking support through donations from my community to raise much-needed funds for Pancreatic Cancer research via grants provided by the Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.
Our sole benefactor is the Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation. They are the only foundation in Australia exclusively dedicated to Pancreatic Cancer. Their Vision, via investment decisions, is to "To break through 40 years of no progress by doubling the number of people who survive Pancreatic Cancer by 2020".
I am honoured to be helping a great cause and I'd really appreciate your support in this endeavour.
