Ride for Heart 2025: Help Professor Rob Doughty raise money for the Heart Foundation

On 22nd February 2025, Professor Rob Doughty will ride the length of the South Island of Aotearoa, NZ to raise money for the Heart Foundation.

Rob's fundraising journey is in memory of his friend and colleague, Malcolm Legget, who passed away in 2024 after a brave battle with neuroendocrine cancer. Malcolm’s career was supported early on by the Heart Foundation, and Rob is raising funds to ensure future generations benefit from their education and training programs.
