In March, Craigs Investment Partners will again be having a company-wide fundraiser to raise funds for Helicopter rescue services. Following the severe and tragic impact of Cyclone Gabrielle, Rescue Helicopters throughout the country have played their part in the large-scale emergency response and provided a life-line for isolated communities. In consideration of this, Craigs will provide 100% matching of the personal fundraising.

Entrants of teams or individuals can run, walk, cycle or any other form of exercise, and complete a challenge of 50kms per day.

By completing this challenge over the 31 days of March, you would have completed a total of at least 1550kms. That’s almost the length of New Zealand!

Below is the list of Regional Rescue Helicopter Trusts that you can choose to donate to. When you create your team please nominate a Regional Rescue Helicopter Trust by either copying and pasting from list below or by using the search function.
