Our Story
In 2020, Donnie and Chloe faced every parent’s worst nightmare—the loss of their precious son, Bohdi, to a rare and devastating brain malformation, with fewer than 10 known cases worldwide. The grief, trauma, and mental health toll were immense.
Out of this deep pain, Bohdi Motorsport was born—a legacy project to honour Bohdi’s memory and transform heartbreak into healing through community, connection, and purpose.
Now in 2025, Donnie and Chloe are parents to their bright, neurodiverse daughter Sophie (9), , they are raising an incredible child who faces daily challenges that most systems are not set up to support. Just like hundreds of other parents in north Canterbury
Despite their best efforts, both families have hit repeated roadblocks—with no funding allocated to support their children’s unique needs. Like many others, they are navigating the complex and frustrating world of personalised funding, where every opportunity must be privately sourced, fought for, or simply missed.
Bohdi Motorsport Kids Collective was created not only for Sophie and Hunter—but for every child like them. Every child whose neurodiversity is a strength, but whose needs are overlooked. Every parent who has been told “there’s no funding available.” Every family searching for hope, support, and a sense of belonging.
We know we are not alone—and we are here to make sure others know that, too.
