After months of preparation and fundraising, September arrived, and our President & CEO, Andy Trewick, took on the challenge of STARS Rescue in the Rockies. Dressed in his flight suit, Andy and other participants were helicoptered to a remote location, where they faced challenges that simulate a typical day for a STARS crew member.
To secure his rescue back to civilization, Andy needed to raise $50,000. He surpassed that goal, raising $113,000 for STARS! These funds will go directly to support STARS, enabling them to be there for the next patient in need. On average, someone in the prairie provinces requires emergency, life-saving medical attention eleven times a day. Thanks to the generosity of Andy’s donors and supporters, STARS can continue to offer these individuals their best – or sometimes only – chance of survival.
