What is GMRI?
GMRI is focused on making cancer treatment less intrusive more accessible and more affordable.
Who is Nick?
Nick White is my colleague at Xero. Nick is passionate about the Gillies-McIndoe Research Institute (GMRI) and is an ambassador for GMRI.
Nick has survived cancer before - and 5 years after recovering from treatment he successfully fundraised for the GMRI by completing the Mt Fuji Summit Race (https://fujiyoshida.net/en/see-and-do/149) - a 21km trail run, rising to 3,776m above sea level.
Climbing Mt Fuji in this race is something of a symbol for triumphing over adversity.
So what's the deal now?
Nick is now facing another bout of cancer and my colleagues and I are banding together to raise money for his favourite cause, GMRI - and hopefully inspire Nick to climb his Mt Fuji again.
