Donate to save Otago and Southland lives

$2,015 of $3,000 goal
Given by 20 generous donors in 22 days

I have been involved to help raise money for this worthy charity for over 11 years.

Queenstown, Otago

This photo is of my wife, Joanne who used the Otago and Southland Rescue Helicopter Service twice over a two year period. Both trips saved her life and provided her with extra time to enjoy her family and friends. Unfortunately she passed on the 23rd March 2024 so I am not only riding my 11th ride on Friday the 8th of May to raise funds for such a worthy cause but also in honour of Joanne my wife.

Please share this link to as many as possible - Thank - you.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
