<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s Murney family were the first people to land at Christchurch Hospital’s new<br />
rooftop helipad last week, though the circumstances were very different from the last time<br />
they made the journey. Helipad supporter Willie Murney bid at afundraising auction for the<br />
right to be the first user. The family have been big supporters since Willie’s mum Kate Murney<br />
was airlifted to Christchurch in December 2013 critically ill with acute septicemia. The Maia<br />
Health Foundation raised $2 million for the helipad project.<br />
