Your support is vital for patients like Helen

First time mother-to-be Helen was kicked in the stomach by a horse in Narrogin when she was 32-weeks pregnant. All she wanted was for her baby boy to be safe.

Thanks to the quick thinking and team work between WA Health, St John WA and the RFDS WA, Helen arrived at King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth (200km from Narrogin) for specialist care in just over an hour.

"If it weren't for the RFDS getting me to Perth so quickly that day, I'm not sure our little Theo would be here." - Helen
