Our Research
The Louise Davie Charitable Trust, launched in late-June 2023, aims to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research in New Zealand with earlier diagnosis as the priority. The current survival rate is only 4% five years after diagnosis. Statistics show pancreatic cancer will be the most deadly cancer in New Zealand within a decade.
The Trust is currently discussing its research partners and a decision will be made soon. Annual high-quality events will be held and funding will be sought from various sources. All administrative activity is being carried out on a pro bono basis, ensuring 100% of funds go towards research.
$400,000 has been raised to date, including a $100,000 donation from the Davie family. Additional commitments have been pledged by interested individuals and corporate decision-makers. We hope to announce the first round of funding in the latter half of 2024.
