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.

A friend of mine was recently in China supporting her NZ-based cousin for the same treatment and was successfully treated. So glad to see it will be treated here so that there's equity for everyone when it comes to life saving treatment - and no small part to people like you and David advocating for it.
