2020 - Te Araroa Trek by Mike Larcombe

Mike Larcombe will is now walking Te Araroa to raise funds for Gift of Sight paediatric research being undertaken in our laboratories and also for the support group Nystagmus Network.

Please see feature about him in the Daily Echo. 

Mike commenced his epic adventure on Monday 16th December 2019 and is now hiking his way across both New Zealand's islands, South and North, with the occasional kayak where required (and to mix things up a bit). He has been training hard and hopes to complete the 3,000 km (1,865 mile) distance from Bluff to Cape Rainga in 5 months. Mike tells us that the scenery is amazing but some days the walking is harder than others. We're keeping in touch and giving him good wishes regularly to keep his spirits up!
