Triumph, Tragedy & a Spare Bike: The Rees Racing Story
Episode 366
Published 6 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Mel Kerr shares an intimate family epic: nephew Damo Rees—a rising superbike star sponsored by Carl Cox—marries in a sun-kissed NZ ceremony she officiates… then, six months later, dies suddenly in the UK after a catastrophic illness. What follows is raw resilience: dad Tony Rees (56) comes out of retirement to race his late son’s bike, brother Mitch fights an Aussie “bad boy” for the NZ title, and the family turns grief into grit. A powerful reminder to do the thing now.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
