Fundraise your way and help support
life-changing research
Research is our greatest hope in the fight against disease.
At the Malaghan Institute, we're working towards a future where diseases can be prevented and cured by harnessing the power of the immune system. But we can't do it alone.
When you fundraise for the Malaghan Institute, you're helping make life-changing research possible.
Every dollar you raise helps our scientists pursue new discoveries, develop better, kinder treatments and work towards a healthier future for New Zealanders.
Whether you take on a personal challenge, host a morning tea, celebrate a special occasion or organise a workplace event, there are so many ways to fundraise for life-changing research.
Together, we can build a future where fewer of our loved ones suffer or are lost to disease.

Meet Poppy
Poppy took on the Scotland Ultra X Marathon to help fund research into better cancer treatments.
"My Dad was diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of blood cancer affecting the lymphatic system. He is doing all he can to live healthily and fully, and managing his cancer is now a big part of his life.
"We need better and safer treatments, so I decided to run 50km to fundraise for the Malaghan Institute. Many of us will know someone affected by cancer, and the research that the team at the Malaghan Institute is undertaking is changing lives."
