Welcome to The Big Step Forward!
Choose a route that means the most to you - there’s no set distance or location. And wherever you walk, you’ll be standing together with an amazing community, supporting everyone affected by this terrible disease.
It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with the deadliest common cancer die within three months. That’s why they need and deserve more. More research, more funding, more breakthroughs. More than hope.
Every step you take will enable our nurses to continue to be there for those affected by pancreatic cancer now and could fund research to detect early, treat better and save lives.
The funds you raise could have the power to make that possible.

3. Ask your friends and family to join
Ask your friends and family to walk with you or support you with a donation. We're all in this together!
4. Decide on a distance and plan route

We're here to support you with your fundraising from the moment you sign up by providing all the tips and tools you'll need.
