Story

Hi and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In July I'm cycling 300 miles from London to Paris to raise money for the KENT AIR AMBULANCE TRUST.

The Kent Air Ambulance Trust is a registered charity established to relieve sick and injured people in South East England and surrounding areas by providing a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) and air ambulance service for the benefit of the community.

Responding swiftly to 999 calls, the Kent Air Ambulance can deliver its highly skilled team of Doctors and Critical Care Paramedics to the scene of an accident or medical emergency. The Kent Air Ambulance can reach any part of Kent within 15 minutes flying time and can transport patients to the most appropriate specialist unit or nearest major hospital in a fraction of the time taken by land ambulance.

 

Kent Air Ambulance receives no funding from the National Lottery. The charity relies almost entirely upon the generosity of the public to support the helicopter.

 My cycle ride, organised by Skyline, takes four days, with overnight stops at Calais, Abbeville and Beauvais. On the fourth day we arrive in Paris and end the route by cycling around the Arc de Triomphe!

 

As you can imagine I'll find this quite hard but its a challenge worth doing for this lifesaving charity.

 

So thanks for looking at this site and for hopefully supporting me on this trip.
