I have taken part in this survey as a care giver along with my wife of our son since June 1980 who suffered a serious brain injury in a car accident.
This survey is very important,as the caregiver is often forgotten. I think the health and well being of the caregiver is also important,who will look after our son when we are gone ? certainly not the government

The Brain Train day in Kaitaia was excellent, and we very much hope it will become an annual event!  Thanks to all who worked to make it happen.

What a fantastic effort by the Tiaho Terrors. I am proud of my sister Gail Stacey for going the distance and wearing the grass out with her walking.
