The Houghs

We are fundraising in support of Your Local Air Ambulance

In March 2025 Joe had a nasty accident involving a circular saw and his right hand.  A road ambulance and the Air Ambulance were dispatched to help him and they all did an amazing job to keep him alive and get him to hospital quickly enough to save his hand. Joe did an interview about his experience with the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9kv8wjlyqo

In order to raise some money we are setting out to hopefully complete the Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge. This consists of walking a full lap of the Island over 2 days, which is a distance of about 100km or 60 miles. https://www.ultrachallenge.com/isle-of-wight-challenge/

The average cost of an Air Ambulance mission is £2300, so as a family we have set this amount as our fundraising target to give a little back for all the help Joe received.

Please donate generously, as you never know you may need the air ambulance yourself one day. 

Thanks,

 Joe, Muriel, Ellie, and Daisie.

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.
