Anthony Hard - Hard as Nails
Anthony Hard
A lot of people will know Anthony. He's an incredible guy, but for those of you that don't - Here's a little about this great man.
The Hard family are beautiful, as you can see:
Anthony, Nahella, Casey & Reagan
Casey (second from the right) has had some enormous challenges for a little chap, meaning he & his family have a demanding schedule & Casey needs 24hr care. Casey is always smiling, and the family setup a not for profit foundation - "Casey's Cause" - to help give him the equipment and support he needs.
Anthony has been tireless in fundraising for Casey despite facing his own health issues.
Anthony was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2011. Despite having had 2 operations to remove it & seeming to have beaten it, the tumour has grown and the family were recently given the news that Anthony could be facing only 3-6 months to mount another battle against it.
In typical fashion, Anthony is rolling up his sleeves and saying "I can beat this" - The main picture above is of Anthony starting the latest round of chemo - still smiling.
Anyone that has met Anthony will know what a strong, positive, insipirational and selfless man he is.
A few of us got to thinking of what we can do for Anthony & family after this latest news.
We decided the best thing we can give is the chance to just have some fun, some treats, good times - anything at all any of them might need or want that we can help with.
With Casey, travel (for example) is often difficult & expensive, let's try and help with that.
Let's give them the chance to take a trip.
Or a lot of trips.
Or fill the house with balloons.
Or with custard - whatever they want!
We really don't mind whatever makes them happy but, just like Anthony always does for those around him - we just want to try and make them smile as often as any donations we raise can.
We would love to see the family enjoy some extra special times together, and we can all help make that happen.
We have some event ideas planned, and many people have already been very generous with offers of time and talent.
We will shortly announce our plans for a great night of music and fun but for now, let's get the ball rolling for this amazing guy & his wonderful family.
Thank you
Jason & Paul
