CareFlight Tax Appeal 2023 - Craig's Story - QR

Australians trust us to be there for them when the worst happens.

Please give today so we can continue flying to their rescue.

Craig was enjoying a scenic tour in the remote NT when disaster struck. It was mid-flight when the engine suffered catastrophic failure. All Craig heard was the pilot say, “Brace” – as they plummeted 130 metres out of the sky. The fall took just seconds, but the impact was incredibly violent – “We just kept rolling, a tree had come straight through and smashed the window.”

Craig’s rescue was a massive, complex mission, taking around 12 hours, involving multiple CareFlight crews and aircraft. Craig felt “incredible relief” knowing CareFlight’s crew was able to land and reach him within hours, even in the dark.

Every dollar you give today is an extraordinary investment with a priceless return – helping to bring people like Craig home to their families and communities.
