Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Seven (slightly crazy) Sytner Group employees have just completed the daunting task of Kayaking from Leicester to London in just four days from 14th - 17th October 2010 in support of Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA). None of us had any previous Kayaking experience and with varying levels of fitness this certainly proved be quite a challenge!

Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA) provides life saving treatment and medication on site and en-route to hospital. This is an invaluable service in cases where land ambulances are unable to access the scene or where transfer by land ambulance would be too slow or risk further injury to the patient.

DLRAA's primary response area is the 2,100 square miles of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland. It will serve in excess of 1.4 million people en-route to hospital. This is an invaluable service in cases where land ambulances are unable to access the scene or where transfer by land ambulance would be too slow or risk further injury to the patient.

The DLRAA is a registered charity and relies totally on public donations, fundraising activities and sponsorship. The average cost per mission is around £1000 and the annual basic running cost of the service is over £1.5 million. Currently only able to operate in daylight hours due to the restrictive leasing costs of flying at night, DLRAA aims to become the first service in the UK to operate 24 hours per day.

Many thanks
