Hey everyone
Just a quick one from me as I am in between cities.  Andrew and I have just flown into Auckland today after going to a beautiful christening (for Troy and Lisa Bowker’s gorgeous wee man, Mason) in Napier (East coast of NZ) and we are now about the hit the road to the Coromandel [...]

 Hi everyone
Aaron has asked me to send a very special Christmas thank you and a million happy wishes to you all.  We had a lovely day yesterday with our extended family, outside under the awning with the sun shining and a lovely warm 21 degrees celcius (70 degrees F).  Everyone contributed to a lovely day.

Hi there
Yesterday Aaron and I had a visit to the Nerve Specialist at Auckland City Hosptial.  The goal was to continue on from the Sensory tests that the physio’s at Rehab Plus had done to try and confirm a reason for the tingling and numbness in Aaron’s left leg and arm.  He has had this [...]

Hi
We’ve had the best weekend – Aaron came and stayed with Andrew and me on Saturday night!  We packed up the car with all the hardware midday on Saturday and headed 15 minutes up the road to our place in Epsom.
The weekend was very relaxed and we just hung out at home, watched movies and [...]

Hi
Sorry, I have just been told that the first cell phone number that I posted was missing a ‘1′.  The CORRECT number is:
+6421-1790-118
(NOT +6421-790-118)
Apologies for those who have been trying to contact Clarkie and wondering why he isn’t texting back!  Lock and load the new number and get those text fingers going!

Hi everyone
Sorry it has taken so long to give you an update on Aaron’s journey to NZ but it has been such a chaotic week since we arrived a week ago.
As Tedi mentioned, the medically assisted flight went extremely well and the medical and support team were wonderful…professional, friendly and very experienced.  We felt in [...]

Tedi has passed along the mailing address for Clarkie while he’s in New Zealand. I’ve also added this to the contact page. Let’s make sure to send him some good Christmas wishes!

Aaron safely made the trip to New Zealand. He flew via a private air ambulance, with a full medical staff, from Colorado Springs to LAX, then boarded a commercial flight to New Zealand. Aaron was on a commercial stretcher (very similar to a hospital bed) and accompanied by family and a trauma nurse for the [...]

Hi everybody,
I wanted to provide an update on the events and donation opportunities that are available to help out Aaron. He’s far away from his US friends for now, but can still use our help.
Eric Jones has a few of the “Clarkie Recover” swingarm stickers left, and will send them out to anyone who [...]
