How you can support us…
When Roz became trapped in an ice-cold river, her lifeline was her personal locator beacon, the West Coast ROA Mining Rescue helicopter, and their team of Hernan, Zach and James.
Being able to lift an injured person out of a difficult area and have the medical skills on board is so important when the person is far from a hospital, and much of the training and equipment used is funded by donations.
Read more about Roz`s experience on our website and help us to help others in life or death situations by supporting the cause. You can find the link in our bio or comment below for a link.
Don`t forget that we`ll be at the @waimatestrawberryfare on Saturday 14 December. There are amazing stalls, beautiful strawberries and the opportunity to find out more about the service. Pop along to our tent by the office in Seddon Square for a chat.
The crews of the Rescue Helicopters have to be incredibly fit for some of the jobs that they undertake and working on the helis attracts people who just love the outdoors. Next year, some of the crew of the ROA Mining Rescue Helicopter on the West Coast are taking on the Kathmandu Coast to Coast and fundraising for the Rescue Helicopter at the same time.
One of the team is Critical Care Paramedic Hernan - who you might have seen being winched down before the Greymouth Santa Parade today,
We`d love you to get behind them and support them through their Givealittle page, check the link in our bio.
