Down With Cancer NZ

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

Thanks to a generous supporters, all donations made to my Go the Distance challenge will be matched $ for $ until April 19th

We're going the distance this April to help bring life-saving 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. 

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
