I have recently been confined to a wheelchair following treatment for cancer. For my outdoor exercise I have been enjoying the Coastal Pathway at Redcliffs, Christchurch. There I met Arni and his family and many supportive members of the local community. This is Arni's and my story of friendship and joy, as the events of 2020 unfold. This is my first children's book.
