Graham Norris seriously hurt while skiing.

Post by icurumba »

Hi all,
This Friday, while skiing, Graham Norris had an accident and has suffered a massive brain injury.
He was flow to Victoria General Hospital by helicopter from Mount Washinton, and has remained in intesive care, and in a coma since this time.
I'm sorry to bring you this news, and your prayers and thoughts would be appreciated.
Graham has been a regular member of the kiteboard crew at Cook St, Island Veiw and Nit Nat for the last 4 years.
My wife Laurie Anne is working with a group of freinds to help Graham's wife and three children through this. If anyone would like to help with prepared meals or anything else, please call Laurie Anne on her cell: 588 2288.

Graham is with the wind

Post by Snarfer »

Graham has moved on with the wind and our thoughts are with him. There has been strong support for Martine and the kids and she herself is supporting us. There will be a service for him in the coming days, likely a celebration of his life. Will keep you posted.
