Support Clayton Hairs and his family after his spinal injury

On Saturday 8 March, Clayton fell off his mountain bike and sustained a severe spinal injury. He is currently at Burwood Hospital for specialist care and rehabilitation. Clayton is paralyzed just below the shoulders. The road ahead will be long and anyone who knows Clayton knows he will fight with determination and heart for the most positive potential from this situation. We hear Clayton is mostly in good spirits in his amazing Clayton way...

Clayton and Rochelle have always been the first to support others (an understatement), and now it's our turn to be there for them as they adapt to this new reality.

If you would like to support Clayton's family, a financial contribution would help with some travel between Hawke's Bay and Christchurch, day-to-day costs and associated expenses, and something nice for them to do as a family when possible. A koha, a gift from us all. ACC will provide some financial support and this is for additional needs outside that funding.

Any contribution will make a meaningful difference, allowing them to focus on what's most important: Clayton's rehabilitation journey and the family's wellbeing.

Let's rally together to show Clayton and his family they're not alone. Your kindness will provide hope and encouragement through this challenging journey.
