300k!
24 October 2026Neihana’s been much better this year with some new medication he is on. So he’s already done another 100,000 steps! Now 300k steps he never would have taken otherwise. I’m so grateful he’s able to move his body.
Neihana’s been much better this year with some new medication he is on. So he’s already done another 100,000 steps! Now 300k steps he never would have taken otherwise. I’m so grateful he’s able to move his body.
Neihana has had a challenging 2 years with constant illness. Despite this he has still managed to walk 200 000 steps! He enjoys going in his walker and watching his books at the same time. These are steps he never would have been able to take without your help, so thank you to you all again xx
Great too see his smile with such a challenging task, what a little champion, keep at it young man, Cheers David and Helen
I am so happy to see Neihana achieving milestones like this. What a difference it has made for him and his whanau. 💝💝

That is so awesome, what a star
Thanks so much for keeping us up to date
Fantastic news! Looking forward to seeing you walk through the redwoods Neihana.
Finally, after months of waiting and coordination, the Trexo robotic legs arrived on our doorstep today! We have the training and setup scheduled on January 5th so I will be sure to share a video of him walking for the first time. Thanks to all who made it possible! Xxx
We had our first fitting for the walking frame today. We were all pleasantly surprised how well he managed to stand in the frame! It went more smoothly than we expected. Now we just wait to add the robot legs instead of multiple people moving his legs 😂
Nice!!!
Beautiful smile ….looks very happy …well done x
What great news! Keep up the good work Neihana!
This is so lovely to see and that big smile on Neihana's face says it all :-)
Things are underway for getting the walker! We have a zoom call this weekend to start talking logistics and next week is our first fitting for the frame. Once the money is paid out next month, they can start production on the robotics in Canada. Anticipate it will take a few months to sort. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to make this happen! Also, I’m still working on my thank yous for the donations, 380 to go…..
How awesome to hear so excited for you all hope we get to see him going soon
