Carole, Sarah and Tina – Te Wheti Māia
Permobil NZ Spinal Trust Team
Why we are choosing to support NZST
Tina: My husband experienced a critical spinal injury while Mtn biking in Italy, he had life saving surgery, his healing has been miraculous. NZST is close to my heart.
Carole: Because a close friend suffered a severe spinal injury in a mountain bike crash a couple of years ago. Luckily he was not left paralysed but it is still a long road to recovery for him.
Sarah: It was an easy decision for who we would raise money for. NZ Spinal Trust is an amazing charity that supports people to overcome challenges as well as find opportunities after a spinal injury.
Our Bios
Tina: I am 60yrs old, married, 3 girls, 2 moko and another on the way, horses, cats and a dog at our whare. I am a mtn biker, not a road cyclist – but giving it a go. I whakapapa to Pare Hauraki, Ngati Tamatera, Ngati Maru, Tūhoe ko Moehau te Maunga, Ko Tīkapa te moana, Ureia tōku Taniwhā
Carole: This is my second Tour of NZ but my first time riding for the NZST team. Two of my closest mates and I have chosen to ride for the NZST out of support for a family member/friend who suffered a spinal injury after a horrific and life-changing mountain bike accident.
This will be a very meaningful hikoi for us.
Sarah: My Brother-in-law generously gave me the bike and an awesome friend set the challenge. In April Carole, Tina and I will do the peddling and swearing for 5 days down the West Coast to the top of the Crown Range.
All you need to do work colleagues, friends and whanau is press the ‘DONATE’ button on the left of your screen.
Thanks a million, in advance.
