Climbing a mountain to make it a molehill

With 2 members of Grey Lynn Cycle Club (GLCC) having accessed the services of the Westpac Helicopter within the space of a year, it's time to give back.

Members of GLCC with attempt to ride the elevation of Mt Everest in one continuous ride, riding up the same hill more than 80 times, and in under 24 hours. 8848 meters is the height of Everest, that's over 8 and half kilometres uphill. There sure are going to be lots of sore bodies at the end of this challenge.

Our aim is to raise $10,000 towards the Westpac Helicopter appeal.

We'd like to thank everyone in advance for your generosity.

You never know when you're going to nee to take a helicopter flight in an emergency, it's time to pat it forward.

The funds raised enable our rescue helicopters to continue helping people in emergency situations, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
