Beating our mates brain stroke

Donation protected
Our mate Grant is a loving husband, a father to 2 sporty teenagers, one heck of an athlete, having competed in Taekwondo, Ironman, New Zealand's Coast to Coast race and many other events...
 
Grant was also a  well respected police officer in the New Zealand Police force, he was involved in many community policing projects.



Sadly in 2016 Grant suffered a series of strokes that have left him with Aphasia and Apraxia and difficulty getting around.

Aphasia means you have problems speaking and understanding language. 

Apraxia is a motor speech problem. This means you are not able to coordinate the movement of your mouth to form words or sounds.

Another complication of the stroke is very limited movement on his right side. Currently Grant is using a cane.

Grant has been in recovery and rehab for a 18 months and is making determined and steady progress.

As a bunch of sports minded types  we miss having our mate Grant around. He's that one mate you all need, the one thats always smiling, always laughing and usually not taking things too seriously...unless there is ice cream involved!! 

Our aim is to  support  our mate  with mobility aids, motivation, love and encouragement to  give him the best opportunity to get out and get back amongst the action.



Any precious donation will assist Grant with equipment, medical & other support.

Any donation is truley  appreciated!

Please spread the word and help our mate Grant..

there are many more who love Grant as much as we do but would prefer to be  anonymous
