A Lifesaving Service Worth Supporting While my sister-in-law was visiting from Germany, we experienced first-hand just how vital Life Flight’s services are. During a walk through the Patuna Chasm, she had a mishap that required her to be winched out of the chasm—a challenging and remote location. The Life Flight team arrived quickly and handled the situation with incredible skill and compassion. Their calm, professional manner immediately put my sister-in-law at ease, making her feel safe and cared for despite the distressing circumstances. It was clear we were in the hands of true experts. What stood out even more was their follow-up care. The team not only checked in on her recovery afterward, but also invited us to give feedback and even offered a tour of their facility. Their commitment to both patient care and community engagement is truly impressive. We are so grateful for their support and dedication. Please consider donating to Life Flight—your support helps keep both visitors and residents of New Zealand safe, especially those of us who love exploring the outdoors.

What an incredible service. I was winched out of a steep gully after crashing my MTB and dislocating my shoulder. My paramedic Hannah and her team were so professional and made a pretty stressful event so much easier than it could have been without their quick response. So grateful, thanks team.
