Support Kevin's Recovery
Support Kevin's burns recovery following a sprintcar crash on 8 March.
Christchurch, Canterbury
On 8 March, Kevin was in a serious sprintcar crash and unfortunately, the car caught fire.
After receiving emergency care at Christchurch Hospital, he was flown to the National Burn Centre at Middlemore Hospital, where he’s getting the best possible burns care. He remains in serious, but stable condition and will face a long recovery.
As our family navigate the early days of this journey, we’re reaching out to friends, family, and the community for support. Donations will go toward supporting Kevin and his family, and keeping things ticking over while he’s unable to run his business.
Please only give if you can afford to, and only as much as you can comfortably afford. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Kevin has returned to the mainland 12 April 2025
Last night we achieved another milestone in our journey, when after almost five weeks at Middlemore, Kevin was transferred to Christchurch Hospital.
We are so grateful to the amazing staff at Middlemore, who cared for Kevin in so many different ways. Nurses, orderlies, doctors, surgeons, anaesthetists, physiotherapists, dietitians, pharmacists, a psychologist, and all the support staff - it takes a massive team to save a life! Thank you.
Although we'll be camped in the hospital for some time yet, it's reassuring to be back in our hometown. Being close to our kids and friends gives us strength for the long and difficult journey that still lies ahead.
Your generous donations have helped us to keep things ticking over through a very stressful time. We can't thank everyone enough, for the compassion and support you've shown us. We've both cried tears of gratitude reading your messages. Words can't express how thankful we are for every gesture of kindness we've received - it really makes a world of difference.
