So were there any signs in his development where Ben recognised his strength of character?

“The one moment for me was when he broke his leg skiing (my fault of course) as an eight-year-old and the medic at Rainbow tried to administer anaesthetic. George was in a lot of pain; he down right refused - so the medic sought parental approval (me) – George down right refused again, and so we helicoptered back to Wairau Hospital under no pain relief.”

Ben says ultimately the swim and fundraiser is a bigger picture.

“Our health and communities are our youth that is where it starts - that is where the change embryo is - George may not know it, but this is a far greater picture to ensure our whanau are cohesive and community aware,” he says.

Does Dad have advice as he freestyles his way to a finish towards February 6?

“It’s empowering our kids with skills – it is through his journey as are the individual journeys that Molly, Hazel and Eliza are embarking on. One thing though that is massively hard to do as a Dad, for me anyway, is to not try to direct or conduct and I am trying really hard to just sit back and enjoy our kids’ journeys.”
