Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am swimming a mile in the freezing cornish ocean to raise money for the County Air Ambulance as none of us ever know when or where we are going to need them as in the case of Jake Dawson who had a horrific Karting accident back in February but thanks to the rapid response and the quick thinking of the County Air Ambulance crew Jake is now on the road to recovery, what better way to say thank you than raising money for the next person that really needs their help. Every second of every minute of every hour counts for serious accidents or medical emergencies and when the clock starts ticking off the minutes of the Golden Hour, the difference between life and death is often a fast flying helicopter with appropriate landing facilities.The Charity does not receive any help at all from government or lottery funds</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
