Graeme Everett's trike ride

$2,775 donated
Given by 33 generous donors in 12 weeks

I am a stroke survivor, riding the length of New Zealand on a recumbent trike and raising money for other people who have had strokes.

Whakatane, Bay Of Plenty

I am a stroke survivor. 8 years ago I couldn't walk or talk. Now I can talk a little and I go to a speech support group through aphasia new Zealand. I also go to Awhi Mai Stroke group.

My mobility has improved too. And now I can ride a trike, which gives me freedom to go places.

I am riding the length of New Zealand. This is a personal goal for me.

Any money raised will go to support others like my friend Paula from the aphasia speech group. I want to help her get her trike fixed so she can enjoy biking like me.

Graeme Everett's involvement (page creator)

Paula is a friend I met through the aphasia nz speech group. We see each other at the weekly meetings on zoom. The Awhi Mai Stroke group is a support group I belong to.

Use of funds

Paula needs roughly $500 for some maintenance on her recumbent trike. Funds raised beyond this will go to Awhi Mai Stroke Group.

Recovery  30 April 2024

Well, it's been nearly 6 weeks since Graeme finished his big ride and we have been slowly settling back in to life with regular exercise regimes and speech practice.  Graeme is still biking heaps, and the bike continues to hold up!  The body is another story with a few sorer bits than before.  But Graeme is tough :)

We have a few plans to celebrate Graeme's achievement, with a compilation clip being put together of the photos and video clips, amongst other things. We also want to thank all our supporters as it definitely was a team effort.

Thanks for your support with our fundraising effort - if you know of anyone that might be interested in donating before the close-off of the page on 7 May, please share the donation link with them. Thanks :):)
