Helicore Event Raises Awareness And Support For BMA CQ Rescue

The HeliCore Collective event hosted by BMA CQ Rescue last Thursday afternoon brought together members of the community for an inspiring afternoon of connection and conversation.

Guests had the opportunity to hear from Rescue Crewman Ben, who is preparing to tackle the Three Capes Trek in Tasmania alongside a dedicated group of supporters raising vital funds for BMA CQ Rescue.

Ben shared his experiences and insights during a Q&A session, highlighting the importance of community support in keeping the region’s rescue helicopter operational.

“It was a fantastic afternoon of connection, conversation, and community spirit, all in support of keeping your rescue helicopter in the sky,” a representative from BMA CQ Rescue said.

The event was made possible with the support of Daly Bay, and organisers expressed their gratitude to everyone who attended.
