| Jason Hodges and The Big O |
.."Ohh.. Joel, this is amazing...." came out of Owen's mouth as he sat in the back seat of the car, travelling home, staring at his brand new Ryobi Cordless drill. "It's 18 volt as well. It's a proper tradesmen's drill".....

| The Saw Horses....! |
We had just met the one and only Jason Hodges. The gun landscaper from the TV show Better Homes and Gardens. This is the one show that Owen watches religiously, and Jason is by far his favourite. Not Rob the dancing Builder as everyone would believe. Jason, the bloke on TV is exactly the same as the Jason we met. A good all round genuine nice guy. He looks Owen in the eye and talks to him directly and Owen just smiles from ear to ear. Jason then handed Owen some gifts, which Owen had been saving up for.... A cordless drill and work horses... As a bonus he was given a radio that uses the cordless batteries. He was and still is, stoked. The Drill sits next to his pillow when he goes to sleep. The workhorses go out to work then come back into his room at night. It was only as I started looking at the photos that I realised how happy Owen was. His smiles give it away.....

Bunnings, Owen's favourite store had stunned us again. Sharlene organised an opportunity for Owen to meet Jason and then they organised gifts which absolutely floored him (and us). Thank you Sharlene, Sally (and all Bunnings staff that were involved) and Jason of course for being the gentleman that he is. Thank you for your efforts, and everyone's genuine care and concern, for Owen. He is kicking goals healthwise, and the drill has been used a lot already... Actually, it has been banned a few times because it is used inside the house, inappropriately. Typical 9 year old boy.....
