Our team is fundraising for...

I wanted to reach out and share something incredibly meaningful to our family, something that has had a profound impact on our lives and the lives of many others in our community.

Last April, Hugh and I experienced firsthand the incredible and vital service provided by the Westpac Helicopter. It was a moment of sheer panic and uncertainty when Hugh needed to be airlifted to the Gold Coast University. Thanks to the swift response and expert care of the helicopter team, Hugh's life was saved, and for that, we will be forever grateful.

This year, the importance of the Westpac Helicopter service was once again brought to the forefront of our minds when a family friend experienced a serious accident and required their urgent assistance.

In light of these experiences, we have decided to participate in the Westpac Helicopter Coastal Walk to show our support and gratitude for the amazing work they do.

If you would like to join us, please register and come for a stroll. We would be thrilled to have you alongside us as we walk to support this worthy cause.

We would also be deeply grateful for your support in this endeavor. Whether it's through joining us on the walk, making a donation, or simply spreading the word, every bit of support counts and will help ensure that this crucial service can continue to save lives in our community.
