Matt Keelty - Chopper Fitness Challenge

This is the physical test all crew members must complete to prove they a fit enough to join the team. Ten staff members from Westpac are training to complete the challenge as fast as possible, while raising as much money as possible for the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust.

Each mission costs $8,625 on average, so every little bit counts towards keeping this vital, life-saving service going.
