    1000km for CAPS

    Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) are a group of ultra rare but lifelong autoinflammatory diseases that cause recurrent fever, pain, and systemic inflammation.
    Affecting only a handful of people per milion, CAPS is caused by a genetic mutation that lead to an overactive immune response, where the body mistakenly drives inflammation even in the absence of infection.

    I’m studying the immune system, and the mechanisms that underpin inflammation. But science alone is not enough - we must raise awareness, amplify patient voices, and support the communities living with CAPS every day.

    That’s why I’m taking on
    🥾1000km for CAPS 🚴‍♂️

    A journey across Europe: cycling through France and walking the Camino from Porto to Santiago de Compostela in support of people living with CAPS through the work of ANZFAID

    1000km. One mission.. Raising awareness for CAPS.

    Any type of support is appreciated and thank for:
