6 months
Hey team
Yesterday was a big day for us all. It was 6 months since Aaron’s crash. In that time our boy has gone from life support to walking a 5km fun walk, from a wheelchair to working out in the gym daily, from so much uncertainty to so much that is positive and great.
It is a great time to remember back to that dreadful time and to thank you all again. From Aaron’s incredible group of friends in Colorado and Utah, many whom we met for the first time, the wonderfully supportive racing community and of course the team at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital’s ICU.
Then there was the support from our family and friends in NZ – your daily messages gave us so much strength! And also messages on this site, thanks to Alex, from all over the WORLD.
At the time Aaron had no idea any of this was going on but the true treasure of it is that, thanks to this wonderful site, he is now able to read about a huge chunk of time that is missing and see what an incredible group of people he has gathered around him over the years.
Eventually Clarkie will ride that plane back to the US and it will be so great for him to have you all there rooting for him. He has come so far, further than any of us dreamed and I can’t wait for you all to see the results of his grit and determination. He’s one super dude and my rock star.
So raise a glass for him and celebrate!! It has been one hell of a ride – the ride of his life – and you can all be proud of him!
Love to you all
Megan
