2016
Our founder Aaron underwent knee surgery to repair a meniscal lateral tear on the left knee after a football injury. The operation was a success. Aaron was due to make a full recovery and would be back playing football after rehabilitation.

2018
Aaron was out injured again with the same problem.

This time the operation wasn't to repair but to remove the meniscus completely.
