I'm fundraising for...
Northern NSW Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service which changes outcomes in our community every day.
I am participating in the Ride for the Chopper to support the important lifesaving work of the Rescue Helicopter Service on call to our community 24/7, 365 days a year.
Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service is a flying intensive care unit. The AW139 Helicopter has a Pilot with a minimum of 15 years flying experience; a Crewman, a SCAT trained Paramedic and a Doctor.
Surgeries can be performed from the helicopter as well as blood transfusions. It has the capacity to carry 2 patients or 2 Neonatal Cots. Not only does the Rescue Helicopter attend accidents it also transfers critical patients to larger hospitals for specialist treatment plus conducts Search and Rescue missions.
The AW139s 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.
It costs about $40 million a year to keep the helicopters and crews ready to respond when needed.
Please give generously and share my page with your friends, family and colleagues. Thank you for supporting Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

Hi Leanne This $100 donation is wholly on behalf of my Mother and Father-in-Law Barbara & Donald Tom from Inverell, who kindly donate every year. As I am not participating this in years Ride I wanted to pass it on to my favourite Guyra Rider on the sexiest Bike (next time, Millsy) ! Also, please don't listen to those almond milk latte sipping shiny metrosexuals from Wollongong. They would not know a country bumpkin was, even if bit them on the arse ! Seriously, enjoy the Ride, send it and maintain copious hydration levels ! C ya in the Great Outdoors, Robbie Blair.
