Fundraising for Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust

Dunedin, Otago

I'm excited to share with you all that I'm taking on a challenge in May to raise funds for the Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust. This organisation holds a special place in my heart as my late husband Darryl and I worked as rescue swimmers for many years. Sadly, Darryl passed away in May 2004, marking the 20th anniversary of his passing this year. To honour his memory and the incredible work of this trust, I'm pushing myself out of my comfort zone by taking up running, something I'm not particularly skilled at. But this challenge is for a greater cause, as it represents the daily struggles people face and the challenges of those who are left behind after losing a loved one. So I'm asking for your support in this endeavour, as together we can make a difference in the lives of those in need. Thank you!

Done and Dusted  31 May 2024

Well that's it my friends. 31 days in a row. Some were easier than others. Today would have to be one of the easiest ones. It was 19 degrees and I went in the afternoon. I felt strong and fit so decided to push myself for the last one. Thank you so much for your support and donations. The funds raised will all go to help the Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust. Those of you who live in the region probably know someone (if not yourself) who has needed their services. A special mention to those of you who don't live in the region but donated anyway (including a Strava swimming buddy from Germany). It was your donations that got me through the tough days, knowing there were people right behind me all the way. Thanks again!!! Fi xx
