Kerri-Anne Kennerley calls fire brigade to help husband John
<p>The past couple of years haven’t been kind to Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s husband John, who <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/2016/03/kerri-anne-kennerley-husband-broken-c2-and-c3-vertebrae/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">became a quadriplegic</span></strong></a> as a result of a serious fall in early 2016, so understandably, the Aussie TV legend wants to make her hubby’s Christmas extra special this year.</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="https://honey.nine.com.au/2017/12/19/11/55/kerri-anne-kennerley-and-husband-john-special-plans-for-christmas" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">9Honey</span></strong></a>, KAK revealed she’s enlisted some surprising help to ensure John can make it to their friend’s Christmas Eve get-together.</p>
<p>“My best girlfriend Elizabeth does Christmas Eve for 30 people and we’re all going,” she explained. “We were almost not going because she has four steps which means you need a six-metre ramp for John’s chair.</p>
<p>“Then I thought, we have Woollahra fire station literally behind us so yesterday I went to visit them, and they could not have been more fabulous.</p>
<p>“I said, ‘I need a fireman to lift John’s wheelchair up four stairs a block away on Christmas Eve at about 7pm, and then help carry him down the stairs at approximately 10.30.’ He said, ‘Absolutely, we do these things for the community. Any time 24/7 you need help with John we’re always here.”</p>

<p>How sweet is that? And as for the big day itself, to make things easier for both of them, Kerri-Anne and John will be hosting the festivities at their home. “The kids will jump in the pool and I'll do roast pork, prawns and other seafood,” she said.</p>
