FSAR Equipment - Tribute to Melissa

We are pleased that the $5000NZD that was raised at Melissa's service has been used by the Fiordland SAR to purchase additional equipment such as high quality ice screws, crampons, harnesses, and ice axes/hammers. This will greatly help FSAR personel to return home safely after perfoming remote and sometimes dangerous rescues.

The new alpine equipment for the Fiordland SAR.
  
The FSAR have been able to establish two complete bags of climbing equipment. Upon which Melissa's name was engraved as a tribute in her memory. This allows Melissa's name and memory to continue to be carried into the remote alpine regions of New Zealand while helping others. Melissa always got fulfilment and joy from both exploring alpine areas and helping others.

Equipment bag for use in FSAR Rescue, which is identified using Melissa's name.

In Memory of Melissa . . .

Thank you to Stewart who helped in many ways!
