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

I’m taking on this challenge because no one should have to leave Aotearoa for life-changing cancer care. 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. Together, we can help bring this treatment home.

My Updates

Swim 1km

Monday 6th Apr
Another kilometre in the pool this morning - it was busy - had to share the lane with two young fast swimmers - they must have been annoyed with this slow swimmer in her seventh decade. But I didn't stop - they did. Ha ha.

Connecting with Nature

Saturday 4th Apr
Another 3km walk today. Always lots to see.

Adding k's

Friday 3rd Apr
Afternoon 3km walk - Mount Ngongotaha in the distance. Up hill and down dale - good exercise for the heart and lungs.

1 Km Swim

Friday 3rd Apr
So lucky to have our heated pool to swim in. In my seventh decade, living with Multiple Myeloma and every day is a good day when I get in that pool.
