Story

HELP US TO SAVE LIVES

We all are very proud to say we work for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, Sofia Voutianitis as the Corporate Partnerships Manager but more importantly Ryan James and Karen Baker as Critical Care Paramedics, who are part of an amazing clinical team who truly are the real heroes and are dedicated to saving peoples lives every day. Without any funding from the Government or the National Lottery every mission the charity undertakes costs on average £2500 with 6 - 8 missions every day. This is only funded by the generosity of the general public and business across the 6 counties they serve.

The Charity is celebrating it's 25th Anniversary and unlike in our previous year the Air 25 Bear Grylls Survival Challenge will be a challenge like no other. We want to raise £25,000 to celebrate the 25 years the charity has been going and to help save 10 peoples lives.

We are very proud and fortunate to be working with the Bear Grylls Team who have designed this exclusive challenge for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

An intensive 5 day survival challenge set in one of the most challenging environments, this challenge culminates in a 36 hour expedition, putting skills such as tracking, skinning, and crossing to the ultimate in difficult terrain to the test. It will be the hardest challenge in the history of the charity. If your a Bear Grylls fan you will know how extreme this will be.

Please help us to raise the £25,000 so that we can help save more lives!
