Fundraiser for life flight alongside a 30hour 37 minute rowathon facilitated by Fitstop New Plymouth

New Plymouth, Taranaki

Our gym community is always looking for ways to give back. This time around we are supporting Lifeflight. Being out on a limb here in Taranaki often means people who are unwell need to be transported to other hospitals nationally.

Last year 1,837 patients, used the life flight service, approximately 25% of whom were babies and children. This includes Livi (who co-owns Fitstop New Plymouth) who needed her son Lenny transported to Waikato Hospital in January as the roads out of Taranaki were closed due to roadworks/slips.

It is because of organisations like this that the people of Taranaki can be properly taken care of and go where they need to go.

In her experience, the service was second to none. Being flown firstly at 1am in the morning, with staff being incredibly helpful, upbeat and positive in what can be a scary time for patients and/or parents.

We will be running a 30 hour and 37 minute rowathon at Fitstop New Plymouth. One minute for every person transported by life flight last year!

If unable to participate, we would love for you to use this avenue to donate and show your support!
