This year we have our first Back to Base team from one of our local schools. A huge thank you to @ChristsCollegenz students, led by their Head of Wellbeing, Will Crawford, for getting behind this challenge.
We love to see these students supporting a service that`s there for them when they are out skiing, tramping and travelling in the outdoors.
Please support their team challenge or any of the individual students through the Back to Base link in our bio.
After 12 years on Bondi Beach, reality TV star Harrison Reid has come home to Christchurch. But while he`s left the front line of emergency response, he`s still doing his bit by taking part in this month`s Back to Base challenge.
He says if someone`s sick or really in trouble, there`s nothing better than hearing the sound of the rescue helicopter.
Head to the Stories section of the Back to Base website and hear from Harrison about coming home to Christchurch and why he`s getting Back to Base.
See Back to Base link in bio.
