It's been four months since the tragic death of two brothers, Callum and Jake Robinson, on a surfing trip in Mexico. Their parents, Martin and Debra Robinson, are still struggling to come to terms with the fact that they will never see their boys again. In an emotional interview with 9News, the couple shared their grief and their plans to honor their sons through a foundation.
As every parent does, Martin and Debra had dreams for their children. They wanted their sons to have a good life and were devastated when that was taken away from them. Debra, with tears in her eyes, expressed the pain of not being able to see her boys grow and fulfill their potential. Martin added that they now have to adjust to the fact that their family will never be the same again.
The loss of Callum, Jake, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad not only devastated their families, but also their communities in Australia and the US. Debra shared how much they missed their sons, but were touched by the outpouring of support from friends, family, and even strangers. The donations, amounting to over $500,000, will now be used to set up charity funds in both countries.
Martin and Debra hope to use the money to make a difference in people's lives, in memory of their sons. They want to focus on helping those who want to pursue careers in the medical field, like Jake who was a doctor, and in sports, in memory of Callum who was a lacrosse player. Debra also shared how her sons always encouraged others, and they want the foundation to continue that legacy.
The Robinsons are grateful for the donations, but hope that it will continue to grow. They want to make the foundation sustainable and keep the memory of their sons alive. The brothers and Rhoad were on a surf trip in Baja California, a state known for its violence, when they went missing on April 27. After weeks of searching, their bodies were found in a well near their campsite.
The loss of their sons has been a painful experience, made even worse by the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Police believe it was a robbery gone wrong, but the execution-style killings raised suspicions of organized crime involvement. Four Mexican nationals have been arrested in connection to the murders. Callum and Jake were laid to rest in June, but their parents say not a day goes by when they don't think of their sons and the lives they could have had.
The Robinsons are determined to keep the memory of their sons alive through the foundation and hope to make a positive impact on others, just as their sons did in their short lives. They also want to raise awareness about the dangers of traveling to certain areas and the importance of staying safe while abroad. Their loss has been felt by many, but their legacy will continue to live on through the foundation and the memories of those who knew and loved them.
