Following the loss of a dear friend and loved one to Pancreatic Cancer, a bunch of ordinary Australian's have challenged themselves in more ways than one, to raise $500,000 for vital medical research! On September 1 the Wish You Were Here team set off and walked the gruelling Kokoda trail and they have now successfully completed their mission. They are now organising their Gala Dinner to be held in November where they are inviting everyone affected by the disease to join them. They are the Wish You Were Here Team. Please support their spectacular effort.

Remember September is about making a much-needed difference to this world, one step at a time. It’s about encouraging positive lifestyle changes, keeping healthy, and raising much-needed awareness and funds for Pancreatic Cancer research.
