Injured young boy needing donations
Please find the link for Max’s give-a-little page attached to this email.
On Sunday 7th May Max sustained a serious head trauma whilst racing motocross, one of the sport he adores, along with his beloved rugby. As you can imagine this has been devastating for his family.
Here is a little bit more from me.
On Sunday the 7th May, Max Bartley was participating in one of his most loved sports, ‘Motocross’.
Max is a quite 13year old boy that loves his Rugby and Motocross.
He always gives 110%.
Is kind and respectful to others, and always takes a moment to say hello.
He’s just an amazing kid.
Unfortunately as Max was chasing the race leaders in the final round of the day, Max had a life changing accident.
Max was thrown from his bike and landed headfirst.
Track Medics rushed to his aid.
Max was unresponsive and breathing was compromised.
As luck would have it, a rescue helicopter was already in the air (returning from another job) and was on the ground with Max within 20minutes.
Max’s life was at risk and if he survived, there was going to be many massive hurdles to get over before a lengthy recovery period could begin.
After an urgent flight to Waikato ED, Max was put into a medically induced coma, pressure was released following confirmation of several brain bleeds.
The following day Max was flown to StarShip in Auckland.
Max is still in a Medical coma, and as of yesterday now breathing on his own.
The amazing medical staff at StarShip are pleased with Max’s progress.
The Give-a- little page was setup by Erica (Max’s motocross mum) who was with him on the day of his accident, flew with him in the helicopter and never left his side until Max’s parents arrived at the hospital the following day.
Erica’s wish of the money’s raised is to help Max’s family by alleviating the financial burdens of day to day life and allowing them to be by his side during this stressful time and help Max with the essentials to aid in his recovery and help bring normality back in to his life when the time is right.
Please share this with the loving and caring people of your community.
I appreciate that Max may be a stranger to most, if not all.
But he needs our help, he’s the sort of kid that would gladly help a stranger out.
It’s our time to help him.

Free Knife Sharpening Workshop in Grey Lynn
Auckland Library of Tools in collaboration with Repair Cafe Aotearoa are excited to bring you the next in a series of repair and maintenance workshops every first Thursday of the month at Hackland Makerspace, just behind ALoT!
Thursday September 5 will be a free hands-on knife sharpening workshop! So gather up your dull knives and come on by to sharpen your skills and your knives with us.
Swap knowledge, tips and tricks, stories, and elbow grease with your neighbour and improve your skills, while extending the cutting lives of your knives. Bring appropriate tools if you have them, or use the tools available in house. There will be nibbles and tea on hand, but contributions of food and beverage are very welcome. The vibe is relaxed, and social. Teens are welcome to participate, with an accompanying adult. We also have a play area for kids and there will be a couple of toddlers around as playmates!
RSVP appreciated. There will be a brief introduction and meet and greet at 6pm followed by a knife sharpening demonstration. Then our sharpener will assist guests with the sharpening of their own knives. Going to be late? No problem! Late-comers welcome.
Getting here:
Bus stops on Ponsonby Rd (InnerLink, 20, 105, 106, 866), Great North Rd (11T/W, 18, 20, 195), and Karangahape Rd (WX1)
We are also near the northwestern cycleway.
Limited free parking is available next door or on side streets. There is no parking in front of ALoT/Hackland.
These workshops are part of the Repair & Share project, a weekly repair cafe hosted by ALoT, RCANZ, and Hackland and supported by Auckland Council.
