ZL1AMO ---> Ron Wright, ZL1AMO/3D2RW was in Fiji when he was taken to Lautoka
Hospital due to a major health problem. A few days later an air ambulance was
dispatched from New Zealand and Ron was transported to the critical care unit
at Auckland Hospital. Latest reports indicate that Ron, after showing some
signs of improvement, has had a decline and remains on life support. The
family thanks the DX community for their prayers, love, and support. Ron's
daughter, Terri ([email protected]) prints all e-mails for her mother and
for Ron when he is able to read them.
Ron has no medical insurance and the cost of the emergency air ambulance is
$40,000 NZD or approximately $20,000 USD. A "ZL1AMO Air Ambulance Fund" has
been established by the International DX Association (INDEXA) to assist the
Wright family with expenses incurred during Ron's most recent DXpedition. If
you would like to contribute, please make checks out to INDEXA with a
notation "For ZL1AMO Air Ambulance Fund". Please mail your contributions to:
The ZL1AMO Air Ambulance Fund, c/o Bill Jennings (W4UNP), Secretary-Treasurer
INDEXA, P. O. Box 607, Rock Hill, SC 29731, USA. For more information please
