Run for the Rescue

The Canterbury West Coast Westpac Rescue Helicopter may well have saved my life last year. I'm running a marathon for the cause.

Canterbury

I'm running the Queenstown Marathon to raise funds and awareness over the importance of rescue helicopters and the work they do.

Long story short I got into a bit of trouble in the bush last year, and ended up with hypothermia, a setting sun, and not a lot of options.

I did have a locator beacon, which may well have saved my life.
