To raise awareness of Huntingtons Disease & fundraising for the Auckland University's Centre for Brain Research

Nationwide

All funds raised during our Cape Reinga to Bluff mountain bike ride will be donated to Sir Richard Faull at the Auckland University's Centre for Brain Research to support him & his team in their research & ultimate pursuit of a cure for Huntingtons Disease. Their internationally renowned research provides hope for many New Zealanders impacted by the effects of this hereditary, degenerative, neurological disease.

Sir Richard Faull & his research team are the custodians of two brains of loved family members that were bequeathed to the Centre for Brain Research for the purpose of advancing knowledge of the disease & providing hope for Huntingtons families.

Donna & Phil. We made it home safe & sound. I was even kind enough to return with Covid & promptly pass it onto Jen. I just want to say thank you very much for your donation & support of our fund raising effort. It will be an honour to pass the total onto our chosen recipient which I hope to be able to do during our National Huntington Disease Conference in Auckland in June. Thanks you again for helping make the ride a success

Thank you Bernie for your support. I hope you got to enjoy the Instagram photos. The team had a ball on the journey. It was a good challenge but made easier by perfect conditions. The fund raising component of the journey was very successful & I will be proud to forward this onto our chosen recipient. Thanks again for contributing to that success.
