A group of youngsters, aged between 7 and 11, were given as a special treat their first ride in a helicopter, courtesy of Eurocopter subsidiary, Australian Aerospace Limited and the Day of Difference Foundation. The Day of Difference Foundation raises donations for the purchase of hospital equipment and facilities, the funding of research, and the support of children and their families on their traumatic journey from emergency to recovery. Thanking Australian Aerospace, Chairman of the Day of Difference Foundation, Ron Delezio, said: “Unlike most kids, critically ill and injured children can’t take for granted simple pleasures like seeing the sunlight every day. Special treats like these helicopter flights are uplifting for children who have spent months in hospital and a comfort for their parents.”
