Have you ever thought about being taken for a ride in one of these? When you didn’t really want to?
(click on the helicopter to go to Careflight website) 
Well, there’s TWO things to do
(1) Sign up for a High Velocity First Aid course, so you know what to do to stabilise the patient until the ambulance or chopper gets there. Learn more about this here I want people who ride with me to know this stuff.
(2) Contribute to the chopper, against the day you, a friend or family member might want it there in a hurry. NRMA provide major sponsorship to keep it in the air, but it’s the little consumable things that need ongoing small level funding.
No, it’s not all paid for by private health insurance. I’m sure glad it’s available ! These are expensive little suckers to run.
