We’re excited to announce that Life Flight has been chosen as Chemist Warehouse New Zealand’s Charity of choice! This partnership will help ensure life-saving aeromedical care is there for Kiwis across Aotearoa New Zealand.
🏉 To kick things off, tune in to this weekend’s rugby with the Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes, Crusaders and Highlanders, and their "Tries for Good"! Every try scored will raise $4,000 in vital funds for Life Flight’s Air Ambulance service.
Why is this so important? Each flight faces a $4,000 funding shortfall, and it’s only through the support of the community life-saving care is there when every second counts.
A huge thank you to Chemist Warehouse New Zealand for their incredible support! Let’s score big for a great cause!
Tomorrow is your chance to make a difference! 🚁 ![]()
