Accidents can happen in a matter of seconds and it's thanks to the life-saving help and support of our Westpac Rescue Helicopters that thousands of Kiwis are able to stay safe.
The rescue choppers allow Kiwis to enjoy day-to-day activities and adventures while knowing that if things go wrong, help is only a few minutes away.
The Westpac Chopper Appeal is running for the month of May, giving New Zealanders a chance to support their local rescue chopper's efforts to keep us all safe.
Survivor Tony Moyes has shared his story and says he owes his life to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter team.
For years Tony had been reaching into his pocket donating to the Westpac Chopper Appeal, never thinking that one day he would be putting his hand up for help. Watch the video above to hear more about his story.
Donate here to support the rescue helicopters to continue helping people in need.
