Ben Letham was a 26 year old pilot for GForce Paragliding who lost his life in Alaska after crashing during a solo recreational flight. Although this is a sad story, something beautiful came from it. His four sisters realized just how much their brother meant to the community after receiving the biggest support one could ever wish for. Countless hugs, encouragement, and even financial help.
As Otago Daily Times writer Tracey Roxburgh relates in her article: "I know that Queenstown has this undercurrent — the QT family, when somebody is in a situation, people rally and rally hard. "I know that, but I didn’t expect this. "I didn’t expect the amount of love and warmth and support we’ve felt from everybody and I have to say I’m suffering from hug fatigue; a hug from a Southland man is a hug in itself, but when you get it repeatedly, over and over, my muscles are struggling."
