This charity provides the support and management for the Cornwall Air Ambulance, which was the first dedicated air ambulance service in the UK. The Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust exists to help releive sickness and pain, with the provision of an air ambulance for the people of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, and visitors to the county.

Story

6/10/2009: First marathon (ever) this Sunday. Training has been... mixed. I'll post the time on Sunday evening, but I have a feeling there's going to be lots of room for improvement! Time: 3hrs 45mins

 

7/11/2009: Second marathon. 26.4 miles in the sun along the Dorset coastline. Beautiful, but also the hardest thing I have ever done. Running on shale is hard hard HARD!! Time: 4hrs 45mins - 17th place

 

5/12/2009: Third marathon. Round the tip of te Gower Peninsula and back via the biggest hill they could find. Some of the coastpath was closed so the detour made it approx 28 miles. Value for money?! Time 4hrs 41mins 25th place

 

23/01/2010: Next and Fourth Marathon, and my birthday! Need to get some training in over the Christmas to see if I can get in under 4hrs 30mins.

 

This Challenge is a massive ask, and both are great charities which really need your support.
