  • A battle lost peacefully, surrounded by love.

    It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this update to inform you that Brook lost his courageous battle and passed away last night.

    He passed peacefully and surrounded by those that love him deeply.

    Unfortunately the final trip to Oz wasn't able to happen due to his swift decline. However, Brook and Abby lived up those final moments in all their glory from an incredible trip to QT, to spending time together locally with friends and family, and with their corgis.

    The end came far too soon for Brook, but he is in peace now with no more pain. Unused funds that were raised for adventures will be redirected to help with funeral costs.

    We can't thank you all enough for your kind words, support and generous donations. Funeral plans are in prep and details will be posted online and in local papers once finalised.

    For those that may wish to send flowers or condolences, we ask that instead of flowers you make a donation to Waikato Hospice in memory of Brook. They have been extraordinary in their help and support during this time.

    This fundraiser is due to close in a few days, so this will be the final update. Once again, we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

    Anna - on behalf of Abby, Brook and their families.

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you all again for your generous donations.

    Two weeks ago Brook and Abby were able to take a trip to QT. They had a lovely time and Brook even did a canyon swing!

    A trip to Aus had been booked, but unfortunately Things are progressing faster than we were expecting and that trip isn’t possible. So Brook, Abby and the family are focussing on make these last moments count closer to home.

    Cheers,

    Anna
