“Run for the plane”

Talofa Fam, 

(My son chose the title 🤣🤣)

I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge, Kilometres for Kids, to help keep Starship’s National Air Ambulance flying to children across the country who are critically ill or injured.

Now, I’m a big lad, so running one day is tough, so consecutive days will be a mental and physical challenge! I’ve put down 150km, which is about 5km a day. A easy. Challenge for some but not this guy. 

But this is nothing compared to what some families endure in a medical emergency and require expert care and assistance from the team at Starship. No personal connection, but I do have a 6yr old Son, and wouldn’t want to risk these services not being accessible if we ever needed them. I also know a couple of families whose children have been saved by Starship. 

If you can, please donate to help me raise money for this incredible service, the only flying Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in Aotearoa. It’s on call 24/7 – and a specialist flight crew can be in the air in a matter of minutes. 

Truly appreciate any support, encouragement. I will definitely need it!
