It’s not often that Luke is more emotional than Susie, but this conversation saw it happen.  Wayne Patterson, at 58 years old, received the diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease.  Having lived a full and successful life, Wayne is now facing life head on, with a desire to make the most of each day with his family as it is, and to leave a legacy for the family yet to come.  Born out of a desire to leave something for his grandchildren, Wayne has brought a character, that he developed in his teen years, to life through the Fat Rabbit Series.  Not only does this become a beautiful and lasting connection between a man and his family, but the proceeds are going to ensure that research is done in the hope of finding a cure for Motor Neurone Disease.

Luke and Susie are a husband and wife radio team passionate about not settling for half measures. Why strive for being married for forty years when you can strive for an extraordinary marriage? Why settle for being a good parent when your children deserve you to give them an extraordinary parent? Luke and Susie explore faith, family, culture in a way that gives us the strength to pursue the extraordinary and while we may never achieve such lofty heights we will settle for nothing less.

Daily exploring Faith, Family, Culture with a smile.
