McGlashan Challenge - Kiwis Cure Battens
To undertake a McGlashan Challenge to raise awareness and funds for the Cure Kids - Kiwis Cure Battens Foundation to fund further research.
Otago
In 2012/2013 ‘Cure Kids’ funded a pre-clinical study on Battens disease undertaken at Otago University, this has proven to be a curative for a form of the disease. However research teams now require significant funding to continue this research in the hope for a cure of this rare, and fatal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder that begins in childhood.
We are undertaking a southwest traverse of Mt Aspiring National Park, starting in Makarora and finishing in Glenorchy covering over 100km in two consecutive 12 hour days travelling over both Rabbit Pass and Cascade Saddle.
