What is Harleys for Helicopters?

Harleys for Helicopters (H4H) evolved in September of 2001. It is the brainchild of David Golledge who had a vision to get a few mates together on their Harleys and go for a ride to raise some money for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. This initial concept developed beyond expectations in a very short period of time, and is now one of the most productive, both financially and promotionally of all of the support groups for the service in Newcastle and New England regions.

2010 will see a name change, albeit a minor one, but one we see as necessary to reflect our values around what this group of enthusiasts is trying to achieve in the community. We are going to be called Harleys for Helicopters & Friends.

This will show our friendship and support to all makes of motorcycles that attend our events and the members who ride those motorcycles and actively participate in fund raising for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

Our objectives are:

• Raise money for the WRHS
• Have a good time with like minded people and promote the WRHS
• Provide exposure for sponsors whenever and wherever possible
• Change the public’s perception of the public that dressed people in black and riding a Harley should be avoided
• Create one of the best weekend rides for all participants to enjoy and recommend to others

H4H is an authorised Support Group for the Hunter Region SLSA Helicopter Rescue Service Pty Ltd. H4H is the only support group for the service that raises funds state wide annually.
