Grass Roots Trust Rescue Helicopter has received a boost of $20,000 thanks to Woodville Lions.
After six months planning and participation, it all came together for Woodville Lions at the Woodville racecourse when the proceeds from the annual Coast To Coast Motorcycle Rally were presented to Graeme Spiers, base manager of the Grass Roots Trust Rescue Helicopter.
President of Woodville Lions, Neil Candy reported that after the 2022 rally was partly ruined by weather he was happy to report that this year was very successful with more than 300 bikes taking part. They left Himatangi at 9am, joining the Woodville Christmas Parade at noon and enjoyed a great summer barbecue at Ākitio before returning home.
Spiers said his organisation really appreciated the support from Woodville Lions as the club is at 31 years the longest-serving sponsor of the trust.
He said it was a privilege to come to their meeting to receive the donation so the trust could continue its vital service.
