Stephen Hebbend: Donate to save Otago and Southland lives

$10,980 of $5,000 goal

I am looking to raise money for the Westpac Chopper Appeal in Otago and Southland by riding from Westpac Frankton to Westpac Invercargill.

This photo is of my wife, who has used the services of the Otago and Southland Rescue Helicopter Service twice over the past year or so. This will be my 9th ride for this worthy cause and our recent experiences makes me even more determined to fundraise and train for such a worthy cause. This year we are looking to break the goal of $1 million raised. Here in the Central Lakes it is a crucial service and I look forward to being a part of the Chopper bike ride, year after year. Please support me and share this page with friends and family. You never know when your family might need this service.

A Fantastic Result !!!   20 May 2024

I have finished my 9th ride from the Westpac Bank in Frankton, Queenstown to Westpac in Invercargill. This particular ride was between 230 - 240kms in one day with many stops to the smaller community schools which are the highlights of the day when 90 - 100 riders ride in to each school receiving a haka and inspiring chants from the excited children ready to see the celebrities who rode with us and show their efforts of what has been raised from their communities. The whole process is inspirational and that is why those that have an initial go come back time and again. We achieved the goal to break the $1,000,000 barrier before we set off on the Friday morning.

I also want to thank the 83 people who donated to my Givealittle Page, I am humbled by the support from $10 donations right up to the $5,000 donation that Colliers Otago gave, they all add up to an amazing amount for an amazing charity. The donations are still being made but if you are one of the 83 who already donated I hope I can call on your support again next year but hopefully the weather will be a little warmer 🤞

Donations for this campaign are still able to be received until the 30th June 2024.
