The three Hamilton brothers have had six hip replacements between them, and those hips are getting lips talking.
The brothers – who also have 21 grandchildren between them to be proud of – completed the IronMāori Marae Wero challenge in Hawke’s Bay over the weekend.
Representing Rangiahua Marae situated near Wairoa, 76-year-old Te Huia Bill Hamilton swam 500m, 70-year-old Keith Ruawai-Hamilton cycled 20km, and 72-year-old Brian Ruawai-Hamilton ran 5km.
“We called ourselves the hippy happy Hamiltons,” Te Huia said.
