Wiremu | Survivor. Husband. Dad of 5. ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Survived a "brain on fire" (ADEM) that stopped my heart 8 times When i was 11. If I can beat those odds, I can handle any game boss. Kiwi heart, Aussie home. Stick around for the journey! ๐ฎ๐ฅ

Imagine being 6โ2โ but your brain thinks youโre still 12, and your internal maps were deleted in 1985. Iโm currently 'recalculating' my entire life in Australia. For those with a soft spot for a glitched system and a fighterโs spirit, your donations keep the lights on and the memory banks (somewhat) functional while I wait for surgery.

Kia Ora! Iโm Wiremu, a 51-year-old father of five and a survivor. My life story is a bit of a medical miracle and a lot of pure chaos. In May 1986, my brain "set itself on fire" with Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. I was an 11-year-old giant who ended up dying eight times on a hospital bed. Iโve seen the light, felt the "lava mode" fever, and Iโm still here to talk about it.
Iโm originally from Kaitaia, moved all over New Zealand (from Awanui to Invercargill to Otara), and finally settled in Australia in 2024
