Please sponsor me - I'm going the distance this April to help bring life-changing CAR T-cell therapy home to New Zealand.

I've been learning about the CAR T-cell therapy work that the Malaghan is doing to help cancer patients. My mum has myeloma which is a blood cancer so I want to help Malaghan. One day it might help my mum. 

I learnt on YouTube that cancer patients have to go overseas for CAR T-cell therapy but some have been able to have it in New Zealand because of the work Malaghan are doing. 

I’m exercising for Malaghan to raise money because I want them to keep doing this really cool research. 

Every kilometre I complete and every dollar I 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 my challenge if you can. I want to raise lots of money.
