Jason is a guy from Kaitaia who landed a dream job with Alpinestars that
took him to numerous major events around the world.
We haven't heard from him for awhile and it was a little sad to get this
letter from Jace. We wish you well Jace and expect that you will make life on
the farm extremely non-boring.
Hello all,
Sometimes
things have a way of happening that puts everything into perspective, this has
happened to me over the last few days with word that my father has been
diagnosed with Leukaemia and is in hospital with pneumonia.
Long term things look positive, however his
recovery will take some time and I have taken the obvious, but difficult
decision to return to New Zealand to be with him, and to take over the day to
day work on the family farm that is building up.
Over the last 3 years working with Alpinestars I
have made some fantastic relationships with so many of you around the racing
world and it is these relationships that I find particularly difficult to
leave behind, however my priorities have now changed and so I am trading in my
racing uniform for a pair of overalls and gum boots.
I want to thank you all for your cooperation in
working with me over the years and in so fulfilling so many dreams and
ambitions I have had. I wish you all the very best in your futures
in what ever they may be.
My last day in the office will be Wednesday the
30th of June after which I can be only contacted on the following.
I will not be now attending the
Dutch Moto GP in Assen as originally scheduled, but instead in Belgium for the
World Motocross GP. As much as I would like to see you all before I leave,
this is not possible and so I hope to cross paths with you all again some day
soon.
I promise to send a photo of me milking the
cows... in my racing uniform!
