The Queen's granddaughter, Zara Phillips, will visit the University of Auckland tomorrow morning to speak with researchers about spinal cord injury.
Ms Phillips, a championship-winning horse rider, was visiting the university as a guest of the CatWalk trust, a New Zealand organisation focused on fundraising to support research into spinal cord injuries.
Ms Phillips has been a patron of the trust since 2005 and will attend the organisation's 10 year anniversary party at Sky City tomorrow night.
"It is both a privilege and a pleasure for me to serve as International Patron for The CatWalk Trust," Ms Phillips said in a quote on the trust's website.
"The cause of Spinal Cord Injury is one close to my heart ... CatWalk has set itself some ambitious goals - but knowing the dedication of its supporters, I share their confidence that a cure is not far away."
