GREAT WALL DISCOVERY

I'm raising funds as I'm inspired by the work of my local air ambulance.

Every day of the year, your local air ambulance (Warwickshire & Northamptonshire/Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland) is helping save more lives. Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of five rescue missions a day.

The air ambulance gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. We are supported by a Critical Care Car meaning that we can reach those who need us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The charity receives no government funding for its daily missions.

Fundraising for The Air Ambulance Service

Monday 24th Feb
Many years ago, I witnessed a rescue whilst hiking and was amazed by this service.  But what I did not know was that the air ambulance service relies on charitable donations and is not part of the NHS.
Having been in a serious car accident  (luckily I did not need to be  rescued) and seeing several  road collisions, over the years, it has always been in the back of my mind,  that anyone of us could be in a situation where we need to the help of this emergency service.  
I now work as a retail manager in one of the shops and am so inspired when I hear customers telling me how their loved ones are still with us due to the air ambulance service!
It is for these reasons that I want to fundraise towards saving more lives- Please support me with this most worthy cause!

I'm going to trek the Great China Wall.
