The van

It been a long time coming but we have now purchased a passenger van. A few years back Jack transitioned from a stroller to a wheelchair and at that time Charmaine gave up her sexy little car for a 4WD to accommodate Jacks wheelchair and equipment.

We do enjoy our 4WD trips away so the idea of a van has not been easy. Even Jack got really upset when sitting in the van while we were trying to work out if it was the correct vehicle for us.

We had to tell Jack we would always have another 4WD for his adventures and fishing trips. Its amazing what Jack picks ups. He relaxed after knowing he would always have a 4WD for his adventures.

Jacks Everyday Hero

We would like to thank everybody for their very generous donations. Jack is well on his way to reaching his goal for this year.

In addition to raising money for researching for a cure we are also trying to raise awareness of Mitochondrial Disease.

Sadly we know there are still people in our community that are trying to establish what illness their child has.

We hope that this fund raising event also raises knowledge within our communities of mitochondrial disease, I know there is a smart young person who will find the cure and maybe you will be the person who provides that inspiration to them.
