Rescue Helicopter Run

Cromwell, Otago

After a health hiccup in our family in late February, I have decided to fundraise for the Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter.

I have had to postpone the Catalan run in Scotland due to logistics, however instead will now be running 100km in late May/June in one go.

The Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust is a lifeline—there when things go pear-shaped. It is especially important for these regions which have a lot of people living and working in areas that are difficult to service by ambulance, or when time is critical to outcomes.

Helicopters are not cheap to run so any small donation helps to keep them in the sky. It is not something that anyone wishes to need, but when it is needed is a massive help.

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.
