Our Research
The Louise Davie Charitable Trust, launched in late-June 2023, raises funds for pancreatic cancer research in New Zealand with earlier diagnosis as the priority. Pancreatic cancer is now the only major cancer with a single-digit survival rate with fewer than 5% living five years after diagnosis.
Funds are generated through a series of annual high-quality events, corporate sponsorship and individual philanthropy. All administrative activity is carried out on a pro bono basis, ensuring 100% of funds go towards research.
More than $500,000 has been raised to date and the Trust’s first research project will be announced in late-July 2025. We have identified a world-class researcher, and the project will include international collaboration. Watch this space!
