Stu's Story - Glen Murray

Firefighter Stu is familiar with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter’s work but also as a patient. On a fishing trip, Stu unfortunately broke his leg, and more recently suffered multiple injuries after coming off his motorcycle on loose gravel. While he enjoys the freedom and comradery, he sadly would be “the one,” out of seven riders, to fall. Having just finished lunch at Nikau Cave, his day would end at Middlemore Hospital – and stay a further nine days. Stu’s road to recovery has been long and he very much appreciates the chopper being there for him in his times of need.
