Support Our Life-Saving Ride!

From April 18 to April 24, a team of cyclists will ride from Gisbourne to Cape Egmont in 6 days to raise funds for the 2026 Westpac Chopper Appeal. Every pedal stroke brings us closer to helping provide life-saving helicopter rescues across New Zealand.

Your donation will directly support the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, ensuring they can continue to save lives in critical situations. Every dollar counts and brings us closer to our goal.

Help us make a difference—donate today and support our ride for this vital cause!

2% Effective Fee

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.
