Help us raise funds for Northland Rescue Helicopter, during The Wild Kiwi race (Postponed due to covid-19, Date TBA)

**(Postponed due to covid-19, Date TBA)**

The Northpower Wild Kiwi is an iconic multi sport event in the beautiful Whangarei Heads area.

During last years competition Northland Rescue Helicopter was involved in winching a competitor off the mountain after they had fallen off the track and required medical assistance.

The event involves a 10km sea kayak, 25km mountain bike and a 14km run, which our team of three NRH staff will compete in.

We are raising vital funds for Northland Rescue Helicopters. This service has been running since 1988 and in that time has helped well over 20,000 people get emergency care. The primary missions of the service are to:

• Provide advanced life support assistance to ambulance crews with time critical patients

• Deploying in a first-response capacity to remote emergency calls where ambulance access may be limited

• Land and sea search and rescue including winch rescue operations

• Inter hospital transfers

Our group want to raise funds to support this essential service in the Northland region.

The Northland Emergency Services Trust is a non-profit registered charity, owned by the Northland community. This fundraising will help support the ongoing essential services that the Northland Rescue Helicopter service provides.
