In Memory of Lee Elson

Lee was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer on October 10, 2025 and passed away exactly six months to the day on April 10, 2026. Lee was a devoted partner and dad to our three boys. The boys were Lee's world and everything he did was for them. He had a kind heart and a unique sense of humour and loved spending time in the ocean and surfing. Pancreatic cancer took him far too soon, but it never took his strength, he fought hard right until the end.

We share his story to honour his life and to help bring hope, awareness and change for others. Please consider making a donation to support research into pancreatic cancer - no family should have to go through this.

Lee is deeply missed and forever loved.

Together, we will inspire HOPE.

This page is dedicated to honouring someone dear to me who has been affected by pancreatic cancer.

To pay tribute to them, I am raising funds for this critically underfunded and overlooked disease. I proudly support Dare to Hope, a volunteer-led charity committed to changing outcomes for those impacted by pancreatic cancer by funding vital medical research. 

Medical research is the key to achieving breakthroughs in treatment and improving survival rates. Your support can help bring HOPE to those facing this devastating disease.

Please donate today to honor our special person and make a difference.    Dare to Hope is a registered charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. Donations over $2 are tax deductible in Australia. You will be emailed a tax receipt.

The more people who learn about their story and the work of Dare to Hope, the greater the impact. Please share this page with family, friends, and colleagues to spread HOPE to more Australians.
