Devonport's 24 Hour Spin Cycle for Westpac Helicopter Service

Not my best effort this month but I think it sends the message. 🚁♥️

These photos were meant to be shared through a media release back in March. However, due to COVID-19 it was not considered. So today being 1 year since the accident that sparked the idea for the two events, the first being held in Launceston in October 2019, and the second being held in Devonport in February 2020, I thought I would share the photos taken when my family, my partner and I visited the Westpac Base and presented them with the total money raised across the two events.
These photos will be admired by my family after what the amazing crew from Westpac Helicopter Rescue did on this day 12 months ago. We are forever greatful x
We love you flying hero's ♥️🚁

Of our $10,000 raised that only covers 4 people to do this training. Valuable training that saves lives like Kerry's.

Today Kerry Geard and I deposited the money from the event. Here is a photo of Miss Ivy with our grand total of $10,000.00 ! 💸
I would like to thank all the business who supported the event and everyone who was involved in this event on behalf of Tasmania's Westpac Helicopter Service and my family.
A massive thank you also from me personally, this event means the world to me, I cannot believe that it all began as a University Assignment. I feel like I will never be able to thank everyone enough for all the support received.
The last event in Launceston raised $2,612.15 we have topped that by $7,387.85 in Devonport ! (Just over 3x the amount raised in Launceston).
Thank you everyone for your support, effort and generosity. 🚴🚁
