Panasonic Australia is providing rugged technology – including Toughbook computers and LUMIX cameras – to support the Worldriderz motorcycle ride from Sydney, Australia to Paris, France to benefit Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) research.

The WorldRiderZ goal is to raise awareness and money to support ongoing CKD research at Sydney Children’s Hospital, a world leader in paediatric renal and urological treatment. Funds raised will benefit research and the building of a ‘Global Renal Network’ to share information with Renal and Urology medical professionals across the five continents the WorldRiderz will visit during the three-month journey.
