Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money for Midlands Air Ambulance, a cause close to my heart and your donations will make a huge difference to many lives.
When my sister had an accident with a horse
Midlands Air Ambulance were quick to respond, stabilising her and then air
lifting her to Bristol Frenchay for emergency care and surgery. With her
numerous injuries, including a fractured skull, broken jaw and broken nose, she
needed immediate attention which the team at Midlands Air Ambulance were able to
provide. Without their swift response and ability to transport her to a hospital
able to deal with these types of injuries, all within the Golden Hour, the
outcome would have been very different for my sister and family.
If a patient reaches hospital
within the 60 minutes after their injury their chances of survival
are dramatically increased. That is why the rapid response of the Midlands Air
Ambulance is so vital in an emergency situation.
Midlands Air Ambulance is the only Air Ambulance that covers
Gloucestershire and is the charity responsible for funding and operating three
air ambulances. They also serve the communities of Herefordshire, Shropshire,
Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands, constituting the largest
air ambulance operating region in the UK.
Midlands Air Ambulance
receives no Government or National Lottery funding. Each Midlands Air Ambulance
mission costs £2,500 and in excess of £6.5 million is needed each year to keep
its three air ambulances operational, which is donated entirely by the public
and local businesses.
