In 1996, the late Meryle Roberts had a medical event that required urgent treatment in Auckland. She was flown from Tauranga by one of our fellow rescue helicopters. Meryle had no recollection of that flight.
Ever since then Meryle and her late husband Derek committed to leaving a legacy to their local rescue helicopter service and we are very fortunate that they decided to make Taranaki home.
In December last year the couple made an enormously generous donation of $500,000 that will have long felt legacy in our community.
We wanted to share some photos taken on the day Meryle and her brother Kevin Wisneski visited the hangar in December 2023.
Please join us in thanking this wonderful family and their gracious gift that will mean so much to so many in the future
