Raising money for

Wales Air Ambulance Charitable Trust

Charity Registration No. 1083645

WALES AIR AMBULANCE is a charitable emergency service that provides vital air cover across the whole of Wales for life-threatening illness or injuries. Since its launch on St David’s Day in 2001, the three red helicopters stationed in Mid, North and South Wales respond to over a thousand emergencies a year, saving countless lives. From mountain tops to back gardens, the helicopters can be anywhere in Wales within just 20 minutes. With such a diverse landscape, the ‘Helimeds’ are vital for reaching both remote countryside and bustling towns and cities when time really matters. To keep the service running and introduce New Generation helicopters, in-line with Civil Aviation Authority legislation, requires Wales Air Ambulance to raise £5 Million a year.

My story

We have set our target at 1 penny for every ten sheep in Wales, so with an estimated 11,978,590 sheep that's a target of £11,979 and once its raised we will set a date and risk all in a mad paddle to Calais in The Poo Canoe, made from Sheep Poo PaperTM. And we're not recounting the sheep, it keeps making us fall asleep . . .

You can see the BBC Story on the water trials here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/8149269.stm

Or the Reuters piece here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIeXn1oDfVo

We have yet to ask the port authorities in France for permission to dock a 5.5meter floating poo, but are sure there will be more than one "Sacre Bleu!" . . .

We are supporting the Wales Air Ambulance because all year they set out to help people who are proverbially 'up poo creek without a paddle' . . .

Any sponsors wishing to help with the cost of the pilot boat can contact us directly at www.SheepPooPaper.com
