I was airlifted by Westpac Chopper

< Back to stories

On a sunny Sunday afternoon I was fixing a fence in my paddock when my mums bull ran at me and pushed me into the fence and put his horns into me and threw me 9 metres into the air. He ran at me but I got through the fence and my next door neighbour ran to me, put me in his house and called 111. The ambo came 2 mins after the Chopper came to me and they said I was in a very bad way and made the call to fly me to hospital.

5 days after I called into the Chopper crew to thank them for what they did for me and then I sent some money to the Chopper.
