My story

 

Thank you for visiting the David Sale Challenge fundraising page.

On the evening of August 8th 2007, Flight Lieutenant David ‘Jacko’ Sale was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in a field near Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire.

He died together with his Crewman Sgt. Phillip ‘Taff’ Burfoot and one of his passengers, Private Sean Tait of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

                                                                                                                       

The Challenge

On Tuesday 28th July 2008, 12 of his friends will start a journey from Derwent Water in Northumberland to RAF Benson, Oxfordshire, to commemorate the life of David Oxer Hanson Sale. Amongst them, representing the Sale family, will be his brother Tom.

The Charities                                                                                          Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund: The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund was founded by Lord Trenchard in 1919, a year after the RAF was formed. The fund provides direct welfare assistance to those of the extended Royal Air Force family that are in need or distress, and many families of those killed in service benefit from the charity’s work. www.rafbf.org 

The Great North Air Ambulance: The Great North Air Ambulance provides emergency medical cover for the North of England, North Yorkshire and (an area covering 5500 square miles and 3.5 million people). Time and time again, the Great North Air Ambulance has proven the value of having an established Air Ambulance in this region, and it was a team from the GNAAS that attended the stricken helicopter in August last year. www.greatnorthairambulance.co.uk
 

RAF Benevolent Fund has kindly agreed to collect all donations raised through this Justgiving site and split the funds equally between themselves and Great North Air Ambulance Service. This is because Justgiving does not have the capability to support two charities with donations.

All donations raised through and for the David Sale Challenge shall be shared equally between Great North Air Ambulance Service (Charity Reg. No. 1092204) and RAF Benevolent Fund (Charity Reg. No.1081009).

Please donate generously.

Many thanks for your support.
