Getting ready for another Drover's Run

This is the third run for Steve "Rabs" Burrows after 2022 and 2023. A third different "Burrows" joins us this year after Danielle in 2022 and Julie in 2023. David "Doogs" Burrows excitedly is completing the team for 2025 and comes with a long history of 4wding and life in the outdoors.

Rabs continues to work half time as a doc on the Tamworth chopper and by the time of the run will have completed about 550 missions over the last 12 years. He knows first hand the importance of this service for getting to, treating and moving sick or injured patients to where they need to be.

We're fundraising for...

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, by taking part in the 2025 Drover's Run 4WD Outback Adventure.

Every dollar raised contributes to keeping the Rescue Helicopter Service available 24/7, 365 days a year.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service (Northern NSW) provides a number of mission capabilities, including "primary" missions (mostly attending serious accidents) and "secondary" missions (moving sick patients between hospitals) as well as search and rescue services. These capabilities include water rescue and other winching activities as required. 

 
The Leonardo AW139 Helicopters cost approximately $1,000 per hour in fuel, $1,000 per for the engines, $1,500 for the airframe and for $500 avionics, that’s a total of $4,000 per hour before wages and other service running costs are added.

Support our fundraising page to keep the Northern NSW Westpac helicopters and crews ready to respond when needed.
