Please help us to help the Malaghan Institute bring CAR T-cell therapy to New Zealand

The Malaghan Institute needs the help of us all - please be a part of that. 

As you may know,  Nichola has multiple myeloma cancer. It's an incurable blood cancer. More specifically, it's a cancer of the plasma cells which are usually found in bone marrow. 

We know a number of myeloma patients who have gone overseas for CAR T-cell therapy. Not everyone is in a position to do that, either physically or financially, as it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

The Malaghan are doing amazing work with their CAR T research programme, to make it safer and more accessible. 

As a family, we want to help them with that. We not only do we want to help, we need to, because if Nichola was overseas, CAR T would be an option. Myeloma patients in NZ need that option too.

Every kilometre we complete and every dollar we raise will support the Malaghan Institute’s ENABLE-2 trial - a critical step toward making CAR T-cell therapy available in New Zealand’s public health system, close to home and whānau.

Please support our team if you can. Together, we can help bring this treatment home.

Thank you!!
