Okay, not on a big bike, but you will LOVE this.  We laughed so much.

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 huge day for Clarkie – his first 5km walking race ever!
We were up before dawn and headed to the Waiatarua Reserve where we joined around 1000 other people out for the first of the Run Auckland series.  It was the most stunning blue sky day and so great to be out in the fresh [...]

Here we are – limbering up for the big race.  Nothing like a nicely chilled Marlborough Pinot Gris to get us in the right frame of mind for a big walk
 
Race report to come tomorrow

Hey team
A quick update from Clarkie’s Pit Crew in New Zealand!  We have been getting out and about lately and enjoying a lovely Kiwi summer, trying to make the most of it before it disappears again for another year!

That night we went to our great [...]

This post was going to be about the great weekend Aaron had staying with Mum and Ray in Whangarei and I will get to that BUT in the meantime….huge news…..almost 3 months since Aaron’s crash those vocal chords have suddenly KICKED INTO LIFE!
Honestly, it feels like every week we have something new and amazing but [...]

Hey team
A massively huge day today…Aaron can now swallow food and as of tonight is on a REAL FOOD diet!
Mum drove the 2 hours from our home town, Whangarei, to take Aaron to his appointment at Greenlane Hospital, where the specialists work from (thanks ma).
It’s quite hard to comprehend as we always thought it would [...]

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 [...]
