I'm fundraising for:
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, by taking part in the 2025 Byron Coastal Charity Walk.
Every dollar raised contributes to keeping the Rescue Helicopter Service available 24/7, 365 days a year.
The AW139 Helicopters cost $1,000 per hour in fuel, $1,000 per hour to run the engine, $1,500 for the airframe and for $500 avionics, that’s a total of $4,000 per hour.
Please support my fundraising page to keep the helicopters and crews ready to respond when needed.

Thank you!
Thursday 23rd Jan
Thank you so much for the financial contributions I’ve received to date. I had absolutely no expectation that I would exceed my target so quickly.
Firstly, of course, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter will benefit from your donations in a very real way and secondly, given your contributions, I feel a weight of responsibility to achieve the 5 hour goal of completing the walk. Whilst I can’t guarantee that I’ll meet this target, you may be assured that I’ll be giving it my best shot.

Thank you again.
