I'm fundraising for the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter
What I will be doing:
Our team "Worldflight Hamilton NZ" will be operating three Boeing 737-800 fixed base flight simulators in the VATSIM Worldflight event.
I want to do this because:
The Australian teams usually support the Royal Flying Doctors Service, so we thought we would support a similar charity in NZ. In the last seven years we have raised $7,624 for the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
About this service: The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter is a fully-fledged air emergency medical service that services the whole of the Waikato region, including the Coromandel and the King Country. It brings life-saving equipment and rescue personnel directly to patients, 24/7, 365 days a year, and is staffed by an amazing & experienced crew of Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFP), Air Crew Officers and Pilots. Donations from fundraising go towards the operational costs, which helps ensure the rescue helicopter can continue to carry out life-saving missions, whenever and wherever needed.
Team Hamilton has done a great job over the years support my flight simulator and am glad to support his worthy Charity.
