To mark 10 years of funding moments that matter for people in Aotearoa New Zealand diagnosed with primary brain cancer, the White Matter Brain Cancer Trust is proud to present the Decade of Heart Gala on Saturday 13 February, 2027.

Set in the spectacular One New Zealand Stadium in Ōtautahi Christchurch, the gala will be a one-of-a-kind evening, bringing together special celebrity guests, unforgettable entertainment and world-class hospitality – all to raise funds to provide meaningful moments for individuals and families navigating the brutal reality of a primary brain cancer diagnosis.


Introducing your Gala Host: Simon Barnett

We are delighted to announce that Simon Barnett will be joining us on Saturday 13 February 2027 to host our Decade of Heart Gala.

The White Matter Brain Cancer Trust is a cause very close to Simon’s heart, having lost his wife, Jodi, to primary brain cancer in 2023. We’re incredibly grateful to Simon for generously giving his time to help make this special evening one to remember.

“Having experienced first-hand the impact of primary brain cancer on a family, I know how much the right support can mean during an incredibly difficult time. The work of the Trust is close to my heart, and I’m honoured to be hosting the Decade of Heart Gala. It’ll be a special evening to reflect on all that the Trust has achieved over the past 10 years, remember those we’ve lost, and raise funds to support more families in the years ahead.”

– Simon
