Dave’s ‘10years on’ Castleton walk

By Dave Farmer

Help me to save more lives

I'm raising funds as I'm inspired by the work of Your 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.

Peak District ‘Wear Something Blue’ Walk

Wednesday 15th Apr
On 23rd May 2026 it will be the 10th anniversary of the most awful day our family went through. Coming home from Sheffield and in a remote location, Dave was involved in a terrible road accident which resulted in life threatening and life changing injuries. Were it not for the rapid response from an off duty air ambulance crew member he would have lost his life at the side of the road. Further life saving treatment on the roadside from the air ambulance and their swift delivery to the major trauma centre in Stoke meant he survived and made a remarkable recovery. This will be our second big fundraising effort for the Derbyshire Air Ambulance - we thought it fitting to mark the 10th anniversary in Castleton on a walk with all our family in the summer. Please donate if you can - every life saving mission costs thousands of pounds. Thank you
