Dear friends,

We feel blessed and fortunate to give you feedback on the wonderful journey that we have started with Hanno. Through all you wonderful people we have managed to grow the fund by more than R40 000, which was our initial goal. The first objective was obviously to acquire a good handcycle for Hanno and we are in the process of finalizing it.
Hanno is also doing well in the races and was assessed by the SA wheelchair tennis authorities. They were very excited by his talent and promise and he is getting special training at the University of Stellenbosch.

Another big decision Hanno and his family are facing is, whether to risk brain surgery. There are at present promising results with placing a pacemaker in dystonia. At this moment those pacemaker’s batteries have a limited lifespan.

We are also planning another event for the 20th of October where we will hopefully celebrate our SA’s World Cup victory and contribute some more to the trust. Something more cultural and less physical of nature is what we have in mind.
Don’t worry we will not be relying on all you to contribute again!

Evert and I would like to thank all of you that contributed to Hanno’s trust! It has given us the opportunity to be involved with something special. It lifted us and given us hope to approach other projects with more enthusiasm.

We have a blog up and running, but I will have to get the details from Michel and forward it to all of you.

Regards
Danie and Evert
