Whether a golf tournament, auction, black tie dinner, garden tour, cycling race, quiz night, film night or comedy night, it all adds up to a lot of support for Life Flight.
Event Example: John Masters' Big Pedal
Community donations made it possible to rescue John Masters after he suffered a life-threatening illness at sea.
John writes: "It was one of Life Flight's longest and most dangerous missions and involved over 100 people. Along with the amazing medical skills of the yacht's doctor and seamanship of the skipper and crew, they saved my life... I am circumnavigating the South Island from Cape Farewell in the north to Slope Point in the south by cycle, to celebrate my rescue, the bravery of the helicopter crew in such extreme conditions and the team work of everybody involved."
Three years after his rescue John cycled around the entire South Island to
raise funds and awareness for Life Flight. John raised nearly $6,000 in donations to help save lives.
