On Sunday 7th May Max sustained a serious head trauma whilst racing motocross, one of the sport he adores, along with his beloved rugby. As you can imagine this has been devastating for his family.


Here is a little bit more from me.

On Sunday the 7th May, Max Bartley was participating in one of his most loved sports, ‘Motocross’.

Max is a quite 13year old boy that loves his Rugby and Motocross.

He always gives 110%.
Is kind and respectful to others, and always takes a moment to say hello.
He’s just an amazing kid.

Unfortunately as Max was chasing the race leaders in the final round of the day, Max had a life changing accident.
Max was thrown from his bike and landed headfirst.
Track Medics rushed to his aid.
Max was unresponsive and breathing was compromised.
As luck would have it, a rescue helicopter was already in the air (returning from another job) and was on the ground with Max within 20minutes.
Max’s life was at risk and if he survived, there was going to be many massive hurdles to get over before a lengthy recovery period could begin.

After an urgent flight to Waikato ED, Max was put into a medically induced coma, pressure was released following confirmation of several brain bleeds.
The following day Max was flown to StarShip in Auckland.
Max is still in a Medical coma, and as of yesterday now breathing on his own.

The amazing medical staff at StarShip are pleased with Max’s progress.

The Give-a- little page was setup by Erica (Max’s motocross mum) who was with him on the day of his accident, flew with him in the helicopter and never left his side until Max’s parents arrived at the hospital the following day.

Erica’s wish of the money’s raised is to help Max’s family by alleviating the financial burdens of day to day life and allowing them to be by his side during this stressful time and help Max with the essentials to aid in his recovery and help bring normality back in to his life when the time is right.

Please share this with the loving and caring people of your community.
I appreciate that Max may be a stranger to most, if not all.
But he needs our help, he’s the sort of kid that would gladly help a stranger out.
It’s our time to help him.

Kia ora koutou,

Happiest of days to you all. Hope y'all are well.

Posting this here for those that of you that err toward the golden years, or maybe you know a "golden oldie" that might like to join...?

Yoga for the older bodz and budz. 🙂 Influenced by somatics, these mindful movement and breath practices stimulate flow within in the body, regulate the nervous system, aid in one's balance and mobility.

Plus, they're a good time. I make these classes fun and playful, and it's also an opportunity for "old friends" to make "new" friends! 🥳

Whether one is a "golden-oldie yogi" or a "golden-novice" curious to start their yogic journey (for it's never too late to 😉) these classes will suit all levels.

Thursday mornings 9am
@ The Old Folks Association
Gundry St (just off K' Road near Ponsonby
Newton

$15 casual, $70 x5 pass, $110 x10 pass

If coming to a class is not favourable, I also do one-on-one/private sessions. Happy to discuss what your needs are. Likewise, if finances are tight, please reach out.

To book and for any questions etc, please contact:
Renée Sheridan
+64 274 580 355
renee.sheridan@gmail.com

Yay, I look forward to "flowing gold" with y'all 🤩😉🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Arohanui,

Renée xx

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

The hall is dimly lit for yoga and I forgot that I had taken it off so I didn’t see it when I was leaving. The choir used the hall straight after with the lights on and I’m hoping somebody found it when they were putting the chairs out for choir or putting them away. It is a gold ring with 2 diamonds on either side of an emerald. It was my late mothers engagement ring so not only is it valuable it is irreplaceable in our family. If you are in the choir and you have any information please pm me.
