Race4Life Track day 2016

It is with the luxury of hindsight that we can truly realise how blessed we were, to have had the fine day we did, for the running of the 2016 Race4Life event at Hampton Downs. And what a day it was. Seventy Palliative Care patients from as far north as Wellsford and Hamilton in the South, descended on Hampton Downs on Tuesday 22nd March for the 9 th annual event. This day yet again, gave those with life limiting illness opportunity for high octane thrill rides, a once in a life time treat for many of those involved. The chance to ride in a helicopter, on a Harley, inside a huge Mack truck or to be whizzed around the track in a racing car at speeds over 200kp, was simply a dream come true for Hamish and Austin Taylor. News Hub were present for the day recording the event through the eyes of Hamish and Austin. Do take a look at the video below to hear their story. Patients were treated to a delicious lunch prepared by volunteers and serviced by a team of students from Kristen College. Gough Gough and Hamer provided an all-day BBQ for the 200 volunteers who helped create this magical day. Take a look below at the photos and enjoy the video. Roll on 2017!!
