YLAA ABSEIL DAY 2026

I'm taking on an Abseil because as a Blood Biker I deliver blood to the Air Ambulance everyday which helps save lives at the scene of an incident. I am also challenging myself by pushing my boundaries after a long positive journey through life and having

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.

Bonkers blood biker drops 418 feet

I did it

Saturday 20th Jun
I must be bonkers. That is one of the most scary things I’ve done but I did and for a fantastic cause. Please help me raise more funds for such an amazing charity and as a blood bike I’m proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the air ambulance. 

Abseil - the challenges continue

Saturday 23rd May
As most of you know I embarked on a journey in 2018 and to date I’ve lost 14 stone in weight and live with diabetes but as you know this doesn’t stop me from continuing my challenges. 
So on 20 th June 2026 I’m going to Abseil down 418 feet of the Northampton tower. Yes I’m a nutter however being a blood biker I know how important it is to support local charities and how we help the NHS - the Air Ambulance is a charity that has no funding from grants etc it has to raise all the funds themselves. Blood Bikes deliver everyday blood to the Air Ambulance to take to incidents and use on scene safe lives. 
Please help me to raise funds to support this very valuable service especially now while they are struggling with the rise of fuel costs. Thank you
