While recovering at home after being rescued from a horrific jet boat crash, Rob`s life was turned upside down again.

A stroke is a time critical medical event. The patient has just hours to get to tertiary level medical care. Rob was at his home in Akaroa - too far away to get to hospital by road. He needed the rescue helicopter.
In Rob`s words, the rescue helicopter saved his life - again.
Rob is sharing his story to support this year`s Chopper Appeal.

We are always blown away by the generosity of our community and this one is especially close to our hearts.
A massive thank you to Dot who has sent these beanies for our most precious patients, the tiny premature and newborn babies.
It`s hard to see in this picture but they are very small to keep their little heads warm.
The crew keep a couple on the helicopter at all times to ensure that these little ones are kept cosy as they travel.

Can you find a life saved? Do you know all the ways weโve invested in your rescue helicopter service?

We`re still buzzing from last week`s official unveiling of the West Coast`s first H145 Westpac Rescue Helicopter. But our commitment to the Coast continues.
Work is currently underway to expand IFR routes across the West Coast and to invest in weather stations across multiple West Coast sites โ developments that will drastically improve the reliability of the rescue helicopter service.
So, please, keep your support coming - with you, our community, by our side we`ll keep working to support and futureโproof the rescue helicopter service so it can protect those who live, work, and play on the West Coast for generations to come.
In the meantime - enjoy this little look at the transition from the BK117 to the H145 thanks to Critical Care Paramedic Rod. It`s a game-changer.
