Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3164400, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]Suspended Prop [B]Payne Haas[/B]' older brother [B]Chace[/B] has died. Chace has been quadriplegic since age 2, after his spinal cord was severed in a car accident that involved their mother Joan, who was pregnant with Payne at the time.[/I] [I][B]Payne[/B] said:[/I] “My mum named me Payne because she was pregnant with me at the time of the crash. She felt I was lucky to be alive after the pain we went through as a family. I have my football heroes like Petero Civoniceva (Broncos front-row legend), but my real hero is my older brother, Chace. He was two years old when he went into a wheelchair and he gives me strength every day to keep on going." “My inspiration to do well in rugby league is the lessons I have learned in life. Growing up, all I knew was my brother in a wheelchair and it’s taught me to appreciate what I have in life. My brother is everything to me. Chace makes me strive to be the best I can because of him.” [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_2020-08-20 12f88882deb734468ea64e280ee363f6 (WEBP Image, 1024 × 576 pixels).jpg"]9520[/ATTACH] [I]Haas’ father [B]Gregor[/B] said:[/I] “It was a very painful time, but we just coped the best way we could. I think it explains Payne’s maturity. He’s had to grow up around a brother who has special needs. It’s taken a lot patience and understanding.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
