Burson Auto Parts Gives Nate the Experience of a Lifetime
June 20th, 2025
At Burson Auto Parts, we believe in doing more than just delivering car parts. We believe in delivering connection, and unforgettable experiences. That’s why, when we heard about Nate, we knew we had to do something special.
Eight-year-old Nate was born with pulmonary lymphangiectasia, a rare and life-threatening lung condition. His journey so far has been nothing short of extraordinary. After spending the first two months of his life on life support and another seven months in hospital, Nate continues to defy the odds every single day.
A passionate Motorsport fan, Nate’s face lit up when he and his family attended the Australian Late Model Championship in Perth. That’s where our WA State Manager, Edwin van der Graaf, stepped in to make sure it would be a night the family would never forget.
Burson welcomed Nate and his family into the Motorplex Corporate Box, where they enjoyed an evening of great food and trackside action. But that was just the beginning. Nate received a special Burson showbag and T-shirt, and a surprise pit experience that put him right in the heart of the action.
Nate met some of his favourite drivers, got to sit in a real Sprint Car and even joined ex-West Coast Eagles star and motorsport commentator Karl Langdon in the Commentary Box. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a young fan with such a big heart.
At Burson, we’re proud to support families like Nate’s. Through his Facebook page, Nate’s Journey, his family shares their ongoing challenges and triumphs, always with the same spirit and resilience that inspire us every day. Their values of courage, community and doing the right thing are ones we share deeply.
Nate is rare and amazing, not only for the condition he lives with, but for the strength and determination he shows every step of the way. It was our absolute privilege to help make one of his dreams come true.
