💙 HELP FOR MIKE GLYNN – FOX GLACIER

Many of you will have already heard the news – our mate Michael Glynn was seriously injured in a helicopter crash near Haast Pass on State Highway 6 this week and was airlifted to hospital in a serious condition.

Mike has been a fixture on the West Coast for as long as most of us can remember – a hardworking, dedicated helicopter pilot and sole trader who has supported so many of us over the years, through the ups and downs of West Coast tourism. He's not a man who asks for help, and he won't be the one asking now.

The crash left Mike with serious injuries and the loss of his aircraft. Mike has had reconstructive surgery, requiring multiple follow-ups and has many battles yet to face, all whilst being far from home. The cost of ongoing care with travel, accommodation, and family taking time off work all adds up. His family now faces months of financial pressure on top of everything else.

Over the years, many of you have already shown your generosity to Mike in ways big and small – time, aviation services, and goodwill that hasn't gone unnoticed. Now it's our turn to come together again, this time when he needs it most. The family are concentrating on Mike's healing, and at some point will evaluate available funded support.

I know some people may question whether posts like this are the right thing to do – but right now, Mike and his family need our support.
