The Difference You'll Make
There’s nothing quite like the open expanse of New Zealand’s South Island - the dramatic landscapes, the crisp blue skyline, and the rugged mountain ranges all contrasting in beautiful blues, greens, and greys.
With every moment on this adventure, you’ll be supporting the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation on their mission to drive global paediatric brain cancer research advancements, and support young patients while they are on their brain cancer journey.
The RCD Foundation, the largest foundation solely focused on paediatric brain cancer, was created in 2013 in the memory of 18 year old Robert Connor Dawes. Through collaborations, they increase their impact and advance cutting edge research projects to improve the odds of paediatric brain cancer patients - the number 1 disease killer of young people.

- $500 - Help the brainy fight brain cancer. Fund 10 hours of the best and brightest PhD student researcher to work on discovering a cure for brain cancer.
- $100 - Make it personal. Your gift will help create tailor-made therapies for kids and young people with brain cancer.
- $150 - Make a young person with brain cancers’ heart sing. Your gift will fund an in-home music therapy session for a young person to help improve their health, functioning and well-being.
