We Would Walk 500 Miles🎵

We're going the distance to bring better cancer treatments to New Zealand

Like The Proclaimers, the MacDonald/Feathers whānau is going to walk 500 miles (or more) during April to support the development of CAR-T therapy here in New Zealand

Right now, many Kiwis with aggressive blood cancers have to travel thousands of kilometres overseas and pay enormous costs to access CAR T treatment. 

We are taking on this challenge because no one should have to leave Aotearoa for life-changing cancer care. 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 to our Sponsors

Much easier walking in Vienna than in Welington, so it is nice to the targets of those representives acknowledging this fact.
