The incident was one of many rough times for the Ringwood East family.<br /><br />A passionate cyclist, Mr Hemmings was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in January 2007, he had to give up the bike.<br /><br />Mrs Hemmings gave birth to their son Lachlan in June that year.<br /><br />"Having him keeps you going," Mr Hemmings said.<br /><br />Mr Hemmings has spent long stints at the Maroondah Hospital in ICU, and praised the staff and doctors. The cancer is in remission and Mr Hemmings is riding when he can :-)Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447091202844038225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215387517609726277.post-12919998982140173362011-02-26T07:57:21.225+11:002011-02-26T07:57:21.225+11:00It's the "big" ride - don't over...It's the "big" ride - don't overdo it!galfromdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699175645123777544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215387517609726277.post-54836558988411083522010-03-02T23:49:37.189+11:002010-03-02T23:49:37.189+11:00Cool... did you get some TLC from Bike Friday cust...Cool... did you get some TLC from Bike Friday customers?
