Last month Jesse talked with Riku van Tonder. Riku is an archery champion, competing to a high level in tournaments around the world. After emigrating from South Africa to New Zealand he struggled with his mental health. Dealing with that wasn't easy, but he told Jesse that archery helped him keep the black thoughts at bay. He and the Silver Arrows team are due to fly out this Saturday to compete in the Hyundai Archery World Cup in Shanghai. But, sadly, we were told this morning that all of Riku's archery gear had been stolen. This is precisely tuned equipment and the loss of it has been devastating for him and the team. The teams have asked for any help in recovering the gear, donations of archery equipment and they have a givealittle page set up to help lessen this massive setback.
