How Ged's doing
25 August 2020
I wanted to post an update to let you know how Ged, Tarrin and the boys are doing.
Firstly, I wanted to pass on a note of thanks to everyone for their support on behalf of Ged and Tarrin. They have been so overwhelmed and grateful for the outpouring of love from everyone – I’ve been telling them that it is a reflection of just how much love and friendship that they have given to all of us over the years.
From family and childhood friends to those made at school, university and beyond, Tarrin and Ged have read every message and knowing they have such a strong network of support means so much to them.
In terms of Ged’s health, he’s now onto his second round of Regorafenib, along with his regular Vitamin C injections and a cocktail of other drugs, vitamins and therapies. He’s suffering from some pretty tough side effects but has so much fight in him and his optimism is phenomenal. Tarrin, as always, is an absolute rock who just keeps taking deep breaths and dealing with whatever each day is throwing at them.
It has been amazing to see how Ged and Tarrin’s friends and family have all come together, including the other week when a bunch of Ged’s friends created a ‘Good4Goose’ fundraising challenge at Lake Hood in Ashburton. Participants could run, cycle or walk laps of the lake or mountain bike track, or there were also kayak, paddle board and ski options too. The weather played ball and it looked like a fantastic time was had by everyone as they came together to show their support for Ged (check-out the amazing photo here and posted in the gallery) and raise some funds.
There are a few other fundraising initiatives in the pipeline that I will share on here over the coming days / weeks in case anyone would like to get involved.
Thank you again for all your support for Ged, Tarrin and the boys. Just knowing you are there means the world to them.
