When you’re a kid with dreams of saving the world, it’s worth a revisit even when life takes you down a different path. These days, I do my best for the person in front of me as a family doctor, but back in my youth, I spent a year in a cell signaling laboratory doing a BMedSci research degree.

I never became a scientist, but I can support their work vicariously. The Malaghan Institute is a Wellington research institute studying immunology and immune therapy, and applying this to allergy/inflammatory disease, cancer and infectious disease. Their research is world class and covers the spectrum from basic science to clinical trials.

This is the charity I will be raising money for with my 24 Hour Unicycle World Record Challenge. Please sponsor me and help our clever scientists come up with solutions and understanding of life’s most challenging problems.

My target is to raise $5000. That’s $10/km for 500km!
