On The Up: Napier cyclist Strat Ellingham's inspiring recovery after devastating crash
On July 3, 2024, Ellingham was riding in the cycle lane on Napier's Marine Parade, preparing for a race, when the car beside him turned left into Ellingham's bike, sending him flying. 'I was riding along, basically, I could see 'there's the Sound Shell, TNG building, Six Sisters, and bang',' Ellingham said. Strat Ellingham crosses the finish line at the 2019 TDU Challenge Ride in Adelaide. 'Then I'm looking up at two paramedics in an ambulance with a whole lot of police and I thought, this is not good. 'And the second thought was, I'm alive, that is good.' Unable to move, Ellingham was sent via helicopter from Napier to Wellington, then on to Christchurch Hospital for around 36 hours' worth of investigations, X-rays, MRIs and CT scans. Then the doctors operated on him. 'The big damage was to my C3 and C4 [vertebrae], that was badly fractured,' he said. The person who drove into Ellingham was charged with careless or inconsiderate vehicle operation causing injury, ordered to pay $10,000 reparation and disqualified from driving for six months. Doctors removed Ellingham's disc fragments and replaced it with hip bone fragments and inserted bolts and plates and put him in a neck brace. Ellingham then spent five days in ICU and a further seven days in the trauma ward before being transferred to the Burwood Hospital Spinal Unit, a unit Ellingham described as 'brilliant'. 'The nurses, doctors, physios, everyone at Burwood is very supportive and encouraging,' he said. When he arrived at Burwood, Ellingham had no movement available to him, but after spending five months at the hospital, he relearned how to walk in the hospital's pool, and how to sit and to stand, thanks to physio work and getting in the gym on specialised equipment. After five months at Burwood, Ellingham returned to his home in Napier in December 2024 with much better movement available to him, but he still had a way to go. 'I didn't know how badly damaged I'd be, because I think I naively said in August, 'I think I'll need some assistance when I get home',' he said. 'But it was good to be home.' Ellingham said his wife and three children had been immensely helpful and supportive of his recovery journey, as well as his team of carers and his cycling friends Ben and Nat, who created 'Strat-man' socks to raise funds for him while he was in Burwood.

'It's just one step at a time, really,' he said. Last week, he bumped into one of the paramedics who helped him after his crash, and he thanked her for helping save his life. Ellingham said anyone finding themselves in a similar position to him should have hope of recovery and be encouraged by others. 'With the support and the care that I've had, I've been able to improve. 'My friends have been unreal, my cycling friends coming to visit me so that's been amazing and very encouraging. 'But if I can help people find hope, that's what it's all about.'

Here's how to buy or renew your My50 travel pass via the TNG eWallet app
Those who purchase the My50 travel pass via the TNG eWallet will need to link it to an enhanced NFC-capable TNG card for use. — CHRISTOPHER FAM/The Star Malaysians are now finally able to purchase their My50 travel pass from the comfort of their own home using the Touch 'n Go (TNG) eWallet app. The ability to do so was introduced on July 1, with Transport Minister Anthony Loke stating that the digitalisation effort would reduce the time commuters spend waiting in line at physical Rapid KL counters. For those unaware, the My50 pass is a 30-day pass costing RM50 that grants Malaysian commuters unlimited rides on Rapid KL transport services, including the LRT, MRT, BRT, Monorail, and Rapid Bus. Those who purchase the My50 travel pass via the TNG eWallet will need to link it to an enhanced NFC-capable TNG card for use, while those who prefer using their MyKad can continue to renew the pass at counters as usual. Do note that users will need to perform the electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) verification in the app before being able to get their travel pass. More information on getting that done is available on the TNG eWallet website. How to get your pass Once users are logged in and have completed the eKYC process, they can start by navigating to the "Travel Pass" mini program. Just scroll down on the app's home page and tap on the "More" button. From there, they will be brought to the "All Services" menu, where they can tap on the "Travel Pass" option at the top of the screen. The page will then display the details on My50, along with the ability to link an Enhanced TNG card to the travel pass. Once users are logged in and have completed the eKYC process, they can start by navigating to the 'Travel Pass' mini program. — Screenshots from TNG eWallet app Users looking to purchase the pass can tap on the "Add card" button, which shows up as a plus symbol, and select an Enhanced TNG card that is already linked to the e-wallet account. For those who have not yet added a card, this can be done by selecting the "Add a card" option at the bottom of the page and following the on-screen instructions. Once a card is chosen, users will then be prompted to scan the card by holding it to the back of the device for five seconds. Users can pick from the Enhanced TNG cards they have already added, or link a new one to their TNG eWallet account. After that, they will need to select the activation date for the pass, which means they are not forced to use it immediately and can instead plan based on their intended travel schedule. Finally, the page will then allow users to tap on the "Confirm" button to proceed with payment, prompting them to scan the chosen card again by holding it to the back of the device to complete the transaction and activate the pass. Users who complete the transaction will then be able to check their active My50 pass in the TNG eWallet's "Travel Pass" mini program. Once paid, users can check their My50 pass status in the 'Travel Pass' mini program. It is worth noting that the TNG NFC charms are also compatible with the My50 pass, so commuters who prefer using the charm instead of a physical card have the option to do so.
