“When seven-year-old Tyler collapsed I thought it was from sheer exhaustion. He was struggling to breathe and could only just whisper that Dad needed help a kilometre down the track. Little did I know that Tyler had several broken ribs and two punctured lungs that were filling up with blood. As he lay on a trolley in Milton Hospital with a suspected broken scapular, he turned blue. CareFlight had been called in to transport my husband, who had internal injuries, to a Sydney hospital. Thank goodness they were there, because it was Dr Rob Turner who was able to start the specialist treatment without which Tyler would have died.
I will never forget what CareFlight did for my family. They saved our son. That is a priceless gift. We all have many demands on our financial reserves but I ask you to think of times when things could have gone wrong for your loved ones. May they never go wrong - but just in case - I urge you to support CareFlight in whatever way you can.”
