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.

My Updates
Joyce
Friday 4th Apr
In March 2019 Joyce, a wonderful lady very dear to my heart was caught in a rip as we swam in front of my home on Dreamtime beach. A neighbour and my resuscitation efforts were taken over by an emergency team winched to the beach from the Westpac Rescue helicopter, who managed to restore Joyce's breathing and heartbeat on the beach before transferring her to the Tweed Hospital.
Tragically Joyce did not regain consciousness before she passed away in intensive care. Despite this heartbreaking outcome the efforts of the rescue team provided time for Joyces family to travel to the hospital to say their goodbyes to their loving mother, daughter, and Oma. For that I will be forever grateful, and I relish this opportunity to support the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and would be delighted if my friends and colleges could contribute to the maintain this tremendously valuable public service.
