Doing it for my son 'Care for Kruz'

The Melbourne Marathon Story…..

Our son Kruz is 4 years old. He was born 10 weeks early and as a result he has Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Kruz is a gorgeous boy with an infectious smile and laugh, who is an amazing little brother to Khloe and Jayda.

Unlike his sisters who can run around and enjoy life as we know most children to be able to do without a second thought, Kruz needs assistance in most everyday tasks such as feeding, dressing, sitting and playing. He has started to enjoy some independence after his most recent NAPA Intensive therapy session by “walking” in his gait trainer.

Our ultimate dream is to see Kruz walk independently, and by continuing to participate in both local and NAPA Intensive therapy sessions 3 times a year, our dream will one day become a reality.

Of course this comes at a huge cost to our family…. Over $60,000 for just one year.

So, running a marathon is a huge commitment. Only 1% of the population of Earth actually complete a 42km run – it is for the elite.

I don’t consider myself an elite athlete, I consider myself a dedicated father and husband, who has been given a completely able body.

With this able body I will run, and run and run…

I will run with the hope that I reach out to the generosity in your hearts to support a few dollars (or maybe more)  to Karlee and my cause… to see our son walk and enjoy the life that most of us are so privileged to enjoy every day.

Please see the link below, your generosity is forever appreciated….

Much love,

Brent, Karlee, Khloe, Jayda and Kruz.
