As always, I don't need or wish for birthday gifts. But if you'd like to give some birthday joy, I always love seeing donations to awesome causes. Why am I fundraising for Malaghan Institute of Medical Research? So many of my friends and family have been affected over the past couple of years by cancers and infectious diseases, including the excruciatingly long tail of Covid-19. The team at. Malaghan are doing world leading research (right here in NZ) to help prevent people suffering and dying from diseases we don't know enough about. Their amazing work benefits us all.
