Hi, this is Tracy, Mike's sister. I've set up this blog for my family and me to post updates on Mike's progress to everyone in the world who is worrying about him.
In case you don't already know about Mike, he got a serious head injury on Sunday, 20 February 2005. He was out cycling with his mate Ben in Auckland, they were both training for the Ironman down in Taupo. A van turned right in front of them and Mike, without time to react, ran into it. Ben, who was a bit behind, managed to turn and clipped the rear of the van and escaped with some grazes and bruises. Apparently the van driver saw them but didn't realise how fast they were moving (about 35-40 km an hour) and thought they had time to turn before the guys got there.
So, if you're out cycling, keep an eye out for vans.
Note - Just fixed my relationship to my brother. Dad was a bit surprised to find that I was referring to myself as Mike's brother.
