Sponsored Glide · 13 September 2009

Every day of the year, your local air ambulance (Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland) is helping save more lives. Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of five rescue missions a day. We receive no government funding for our daily missions. Your support keeps us flying.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 13th September, Catherine, Mark, Emma & Shaun will be taking to the skies at Great Hucklow Gliding School to complete a sponsored glide for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance.  We're all a bit nervous and do not want to be doing areobatics for nothing so please, please, please do sponsor us and make it all worthwhile!

The Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance has to raise £1.5 million every year in order to keep its life saving operation in service.  The charity receives no Government funding, nor do we qualify for Lottery Funding.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
