How you can support us…
Living and working rurally, Mitch has heard his fair share of rescue helicopter stories. He also has one of his own.
Working in a factory, an accident saw Mitch trapped with a broken back.

Last year`s Westpac Rescue Helicopter golf tournament at Russley Golf Club was a huge success. So much so that we`re doing it all again, and there is still a car up for grabs for a hole in one*!
We`d love to see you there, so get your work group organised and sign up a team.

Keely had a lifesaving ride on a rescue helicopter. Now she`s urging her community to give the rescue helicopters their support.
Thank you to Keely and the team at @pendarvesyoungfarmers for supporting the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust with your Speed Shear event.
If you`re in or near Rakaia on 15 November, head along! Community events like this go a huge way to keeping the lifesaving rescue helicopter service in the air.
