Auckland's Bethell's beach is beautiful, remote and has had its fair share of rescues.
But it's nothing compared to what the Bethells' lifeguards will soon experience on the Mediterranean Coast.
In a couple of months, six lifeguards will head over to the Greek Island of Lesbos to help tackle what the UN say is the biggest humanitarian crisis in decades -- but the lifeguards will need help, as it is going to cost about $70,000 to get there along with their boat.
They were inspired by Melbourne lifeguard Simon Lewis, who raised money to take himself and a jetski to the Greek city of Lesbos where, in just 10 days, he helped save a staggering 157 people.
Story went to meet the lifeguards who refuse to sit back on the couch and feel a need and passion to get over to the Mediterranean and help save lives.
